How to suppress a suspected bomb in a public or commercial setting?


Ballistic Blanket and Safety Circle are the most cost-effective and easy-to-use solutions currently available to suppress the effects of an IED and contain the fragments and shrapnel ejected during an explosion.

 

Bomb Blankets are commonly used by the Armed Forces, Police, and many governmental offices. Bomb Blankets are highly effective and easy to use; no formal training is necessary. 

 

To use, place the safety circle around the suspected bomb, then place the bomb blanket over the up. The safety circle prevents the Blanket from making direct contact with the device.

 

4 Safety Benefits of a Ballistic Protection Blanket

The Blanket is wrapped around the puller and provides press ejection protection for the operator.

Here are a few key benefits of a ballistic protection blanket:

 

  1. These blankets protect the operator by containing flying or broken debris and parts from extreme pulling, pressing, pushing, or stressing forces.
  2. They work exceptionally well with pullers and forcing presses.
  3. Unlike rigid, fixed guards, they can be wrapped and strapped around a job. 
  4. Since the blankets are clear, they allow you to monitor the job from start to finish visually. 

 

A ballistic protection blanket to safeguard your hydraulic press during operation promotes a safer work environment—not only for the operator but also for those near or around the facility. In addition, these versatile safety solutions will help your team contain flying or broken parts, even in extreme force—creating a safer and more comfortable work environment for each employee involved.

 

Bomb Blast Suppression Blanket use

The Bomb Blast Suppression Blanket is used to suppress and contain the blast and fragmentation from explosive threats, such as an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

 

This lightweight and easily portable Blanket works with a ballistic containment ring for mitigating IEDs containing relatively smaller charges.

 

The Blast Blanket is a first response option for mitigating threats in public places such as airports and public transit stations until a Bomb Disposal or EOD team arrives on the scene and can take further action.

 

The system includes lifting straps and a Ballistic Collar placed on its edge around the suspicious item. The Blanket is then placed over the Collar and suspicious item. The Collar directs the force of the explosive blast upwards into the Blanket, which is designed to help contain fragments from an explosion.

 

Bomb suppression blankets

Bomb explosions have highly negative effects on the human body, especially on people close to the blast incident. Therefore, besides military armor, many bombs suppression blankets (BSB)/ballistic blankets have been designed to minimize such possible harmful effects on people and property. In addition, dynamiting operations and land excavation for mining mostly result in high-velocity fragmentation, which elevates the need for ballistic blankets. 

 

Bomb suppression blankets (BSB)/ballistic blankets protect from blast fragmentation of explosive devices, including EOD and IEDD. They are portable, flexible, compact, and easily folded, enabling easy transportation and rapid deployment. 

 

The bomb suppression blanket can cover a suspect to suppress the blast. In addition, they are also used to protect explosives stored in areas prone to explosions.
