Thousands die each year inside buildings in the disaster zone -- hit by flying, falling debris, trying to reach exits blocked with wreckage, trapped, with no safe place to seek refuge.

A building can be classified as High Risk due to: Suicide bomb attack, armed assailant, well blowout, explosion, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, flood, etc. Immediate effects after such disasters are flying glass, projectiles, blast overpressure, shrapnel, blocked escape routes, collapsing ceilings, floor cave in, pancake effect, falling debris, structural beams falling, etc.

The Protective Office Furniture System can save lives because, bolted to the ground, it does not move, slide, topple, collapse or act as a projectile to block exits.

Coated in a patented process that holds furniture together, it shields workers from flying debris and shrapnel. Complete with survival kit and Personal Protection Pod, it creates a safe haven that can keep workers alive until EMTs penetrate the rubble.

In its unique patented office furniture system, the Personal Protection Pod (PPP)* will protect employees with a shelter that can withstand explosions and crushing debris, offering a safe haven until help arrives.
