The contract was awarded through the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority framework following a wearer trial conducted at South Yorkshire’s Breathing Apparatus Instructor Training Centre, where operational personnel assessed the gloves under realistic training conditions, with a particular focus on protection, dexterity, comfort and overall wearer performance. The award is expected to equip more than 700 firefighters. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
