Access Wire
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 22, 2014 / Mission
Ready Services Inc. (MRS: TSX-V) - Further to the Mission
Ready Services Inc. ("Mission Ready" or "MRSI") announcement on
February 11, 2014, MRSI provides the following update on the
operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Protect the Force Inc.
("PTF" or "the Company").
On November 22, 2013, respirator manufacturers received
notification from the National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health (NIOSH) of chemical, biological, radiological and
nuclear testing errors at the governments Edgewood Chemical
Biological Center (ECBC). As a result of these errors, NIOSH and
ECBC temporarily halted all CWA testing until test procedures could
be validated and are re-testing affected products.
This issue impacted all manufacturers who had products tested
and/or approved over a certain period of time at ECBC including
products placed for Scott Safety, A Tyco Business, by PTF. Scott
Safety in a recent press release announced that it has received
NFPA approvals for its Air-Pak X3 and Air-Pak 75 SCBA's to the 2013
Edition of NFPA 1981 and 1982, and will begin shipping
immediately.
As part of its agreement with Scott Safety, Protect The Force
earns commission income on product sales of certain Scott Safety
products to agencies of the United States Federal Government once
the product has shipped.
The Air-Pak 75 (AP 75) has been the leading SCBA used by first
responders and municipal and industrial firefighters since its
introduction in 2007. The key reasons for its success are:
Redundancy of Safety Features - giving
firefighters confidence in their life saving equipment and allowing
them to focus on the critical job at hand.
Ease of Use - provides firefighters a
simple-to-use and easy-to-understand SCBA that requires minimal
training, increases operational efficiencies and reduces training
costs.
Low Cost of Ownership - lower costs after
initial sale through its rugged design, assembly and warranty
policy enable the department to direct valuable funding to training
and other PPE rather than on maintenance costs.
Scott Safety's Air-Pak remains the most trusted, durable and
easy to use SCBA in the fire service, with redundant safety
features, a low cost of ownership and firefighter-designed and
tested components. And the Scott Safety Air-Pak SCBA is the only
SCBA to meet the stringent requirements to be labeled "Made in the
USA."
Gary Hess, President of Protect The Force states "I and my team
at PTF are proud to be associated with such a world class
organization like Scott Safety and look forward to continuing to
bring these products to the first responder market"
The mission of Protect the Force is to save lives and enhance
the performance of security personnel and those who protect us, by
working to ensure they are equipped with the best possible personal
protective equipment.
