The award recognises garment innovation that has contributed to the safety, comfort and protection of police, ambulance, fire and other rescue services personnel.

The technical rescue suit is already being used by a number of rescue services with several others showing interest.

Cosalt's two-piece suit includes blood-borne pathogen protection to minimise the possibility of infection when dealing with accidents where the victim is bleeding.

It comprises a jacket and trouser which zip together at the waist for complete protection and a detachable liner.

The front and back knee panels are articulated, with Aramid knee patches and Kevlar pads making it ideal for use in a variety of emergency situations.

The award was presented by Jose Sanchez, Editor of Fire & Rescue Magazine, Alex Van Baalen for Company Clothing Magazine and Myleene Klass.

Cosalt Workwear were also shortlisted in the Best Workwear Design category for the licensed Stanley range.
