CBRN response (this service is aimed primarily at the Business Sector)


The acronym for Chemical Biological & Radiological & Nuclear incidents.

A team of specialist provide a full isolation, control & decontamination service. Equipped with all necessary materials & equipment to safeguard you & your employees escape or remain out of harms way in the event of a hoax or confirmed incident.

1. Chemical Incidents
Terrorist use of chemical weapons would be most likely be directed at a large area rather than individual companies. The use of gas or explosion is the considered method of delivery over a wide area. The physical components or carrier of the weapon, coupled to air movement temperature & other factors would affect it's spread & dissipation. The affects of this incident would most likely bring out the government agencies after dissipation as control or evacuation would in most cases be difficult.
Due to various weapon characteristics assessments are required to provide solutions to individual premises.

2. Anthrax & Biological contamination
There have been many trials of decontamination procedures since the US attacks. Many have failed because or poor neutralisation or buildings have been made almost uninhabitable due to toxic residue. We have partnered the most successful US manufacturer & can provide our clients with a workable, safe decontamination service. Once our decontamination has finished we provide independent certification of decontamination.

3. Radiological
The use of a dirty bomb is considered a prime weapon of use. The spread of fine radioactive particles may create many logistic problems for the government agencies. Similarly the building owner must prevent the building becoming contaminated where & if possible to reduce the down time for decontamination. Where contamination has occurred Hazmat response can identify & collect contamination & provide clearance certification.

4. Nuclear
Similar to the radiological prospective but with long term & widespread implication to health & safety & business compound problems. Restorex can provide both short & long term solutions
