The
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) /
Improvised
Explosive Device (IED) Bomb
Suppression Safety Blanket is the most cost-effective and easy to use product
currently available for containing fragments and shrapnel from explosive
devices. It is in use by Armed Forces and Police units, as well as many large
government and corporate offices, in many countries worldwide.
The Bomb
Suppression Safety Blanket has been designed for use by both unskilled
personnel, as well as by skilled EOD/IED operators, when confronted with a
suspect explosive device in a public area. The Safety Blanket is placed around
the suspect bomb and then the Bomb Blanket, which has four heavy-duty webbing
carrying handles, is carefully placed over the Safety Blanket surrounding the
bomb. This eliminates any direct contact with the bomb and provides a safe
environment for its examination and disposal.
HOW
USEFUL IS BOMB SUPPRESSION BLANKET (BSB) AND BLAST CONTAINMENT RING (BCR) ?
Bomb
Suppression Blanket (BSB) and Blast Containment Ring (BCR) are suitable for use
in Railway Stations, Important Trains, Airports, Bus Terminals, Shopping Malls,
Post Offices, Weekly Markets, PCR Vans, Control Room in Festivals/Fairs and
Theaters etc.
The
Blast Containment Ring is first placed on its edge around the suspected bomb/
IED and the Bomb Suppression Blanket is then placed over the Blast Containment
Ring and suspected bomb, while awaiting examination. This combo deters side
fragmentation discharge as well as top discharge. (The Bomb Suppression Blankets
are used in conjunction with the Blast Containment Ring)
Should a detonation or explosion occur, the ring directs the force of the blast
upwards and the Blanket flexes and contains most of the fragments created by the
explosion, so that the damage to personnel or property in the area is
considerably reduced. It provides prompt and effective method for dealing with
suspected packages.
