How These $3,000 Hazmat Suits Are Made To Keep Up With Pandemic Demand | Big Business
Kappler specializes in making fully encapsulated $3,000 hazmat suits. Due to the pandemic, the company saw a 25% jump in demand and an even bigger jump among its newest product: child hazmat suits. But due to an outbreak in the factory and staffing issues, the company couldn't make suits fast enough. (This footage was filmed in January 2020.)

i think it’s actually odd how it’s ONLY. a 25% raise in orders. i mean, that’s essentially implies that the hazmat suits were already in pretty high demand. damn

According to Glassdoor, your company pays a production worker around 25k to 29k a year or about 11 to 15 an hour. Maybe bump that up to 17 or 18 an hour and people wouldn't leave. There is something to be said about standing there doing the same repetitive task over and over for hours then being expected to work overtime. Don't blame your turnover on COVID. If your workforce has to rely on overtime to pay the bills you aren't going to have a great time, plus with a 6-month turnaround for training, this can be considered skilled labor.

Excellent video and Kappler keep up the good work protecting those that need protecting......
I’ve mentally designed a very nice, combat capable, CBRN suit The basic idea is its printed in multicam, has a helmet embedded in the head, and a pressed on, vaguely trust worthy nvg mount, and is designed to be wrapped in a big Waist to thigh rig with a vest and an embedded back bulge for air that leaves enough space to place packs and flimsy bags Obviously it’s not meant to take a hit, but it’s perfectly designed to shoot from while meeting safety standards Pretty neat concept if you ask me
