Firefighters face courageous challenges on a daily basis, be it fires, technical operations or hazardous substance incidents. However, the health of their comrades comes first. It is therefore essential to take appropriate hygiene measures immediately after an operation in order to minimize contamination and health risks.
Our MUNDUS hygiene trailer offers firefighters the opportunity to clean themselves and change their contaminated clothing directly on site. With this innovative approach, we are creating an important protective measure to preserve the health of our heroes in uniform.

The statistics are alarming: cancer is the leading cause of death among firefighters, according to a groundbreaking Canadian study from 2018. Certain types of cancer occur three times more frequently in emergency services personnel than in the general population. In order to stop this threatening trend, the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) has developed measures that specifically address the spread of contamination and the associated health risks.
DGUV Information 205-035 "Hygiene and contamination prevention in the fire department" is a groundbreaking catalog of measures. The focus is on a clear message: the safety and health of the emergency services is the responsibility of the municipalities and cities that support the fire departments. This means that suitable equipment, hygiene plans and careful implementation of hygiene measures are essential.
Further deliveries are currently being prepared.
Our authorized technicians will be happy to check the personal protective equipment of your colleagues directly on site. This allows you to meet the relevant DGUV requirements and protect your emergency services. You can find out more about our mobile inspection service here.
