The Company’s range of personal protective equipment (PPE) encompasses head-to-toe structural, technical rescue (USAR) and wildland firefighting garments.

An integrated approach to delivering organic, sustainable growth has seen the introduction of several innovative designs which have helped secure new business in the UK and many international markets. Recent new products include Bristol’s innovative XFlex™ structural fire kit to EN 469:2005; and RescueFlex™ technical rescue/USAR kit. LayerFlex™ is a layered garment approach to providing structural, technical rescue and wildland firefighting PPE in just 3 garments used in different combinations to provide the appropriate protection. Ranges of in-house designed firefighter gloves and fire hoods complement the wide range of fire coats and trousers available. In 2017, Bristol was awarded the contract to supply firefighting PPE for a new Collaborative Procurement Framework, accessible to all Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services across the UK. The Framework provides access to high quality PPE ensembles, whilst saving considerable time and resources by simplifying and streamlining the procurement process. A lifetime approach to garment maintenance, through a range of managed service options, helps to optimise the service life of firefighter PPE and reduce the long term overall cost of ownership and deliver proven value-for-money solutions for fire & rescue services around the world.

ASL Safety & Security have been involved in Voice Alarm systems within the Rail and Airport Industries since 1989. The comprehensive equipment range that has been developed from this experience enables the smallest standalone to the largest networked Voice Alarm system to be implemented cost effectively, and with full and unambiguous compliance to all the relevant safety standards. Infrastructure systems are increasingly being integrated to have single control front ends to Voice Alarm Systems and other customer information systems such as Passenger Information Displays, Help Points, and Access Control. Thus Centralised Control suites are being developed that supervise entire site information and security systems, including customer information systems (CIS), automatic digital voice announcers (DVA), Long Line Public Address (LLPA), and Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition Maintenance functions (SCADA). ASL’s  iVENCS Site Control System uses leading edge display and system design technology to provide the very best of this new class of control systems. Typically the control networking of these highly integrated systems is being implemented using Internet Protocol (IP) interfacing, with the audio networking being implemented using Voice Over IP (VoIP) technology.  ASL’s control systems can be seamlessly integrated over large networks using IP technology, and provide powerful Long Line control and broadcast functions.
