The Hidden Risk Facing First Responders

Studies show that emergency responders are at increased risk of cancers and infectious diseases due to prolonged exposure to contaminants, bacteria, and carcinogenic substances absorbed through the skin. Without prompt, on-scene washdown, they face significantly increased risks of long-term illnesses, including several forms of cancer.

Why ResponderWash Matters

ResponderWash isn’t just equipment — it’s a commitment to occupational safety, operational readiness, and responder dignity. By supporting on-site washdown, you can reduce harmful exposure through timely washdown, support health and safety standards, and duty-of-care obligations for both full-time and volunteer responders.

Built for Real World Conditions

The ruggedized design features a heavy-duty aluminium frame and weather-resistant canvas, built to withstand harsh, remote conditions. Each unit is designed for ease of deployment, with components familiar to volunteers from outdoor and camping contexts, allowing for intuitive setup and use.

Key Features

Fast Setup & Pack Down

Deployable in under 30 minutes by just two people, ResponderWash is designed for rapid response. Crews can have a complete, functional washdown zone operational with minimal downtime, even in challenging or remote locations.

Robust Design

Engineered to withstand harsh and unpredictable environments, the system’s durable materials and weather-resistant construction mean it performs reliably — whether you’re on a dusty roadside, in flood-affected areas, or working through heavy rain or wind.

Private & Dignified

ResponderWash prioritises responder wellbeing with a fully enclosed structure and sealed compartments. This ensures privacy for all users, including female and volunteer responders, and helps maintain dignity while undressing and washing down in the field.

Intuitive, Volunteer-Friendly Design

Uses components and fixtures familiar to volunteers from outdoor and camping contexts, making it easy to learn and operate.

Portable & Lightweight

Each component is lightweight, packable, and easily handled by a two-person lift. The entire unit fits onto a truck deck or standard utility vehicle, making it easy to transport and redeploy between sites or incidents.

Practical to Maintain

Designed for quick and easy clean-up after use, with removable parts that can be easily washed down and hung up to dry, ready for the next use.

SOP-Aligned & Compliant

ResponderWash supports best-practice Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and aligns with national cancer prevention guidelines. Its structured, evidence-based approach makes it a trusted solution for both professional services and volunteer brigades.

Three Zone Modular Tent Design

ResponderWash is engineered to offer a practical and affordable washdown solution that aligns with fire ground Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), using color-coded zones (Red, Amber, Green) to guide users through a structured, private decontamination process.
