Anti-flash gear
Anti-flash gear, also known simply as flash gear, is basic personal protective equipment consisting of a fire-resistant hood and fire-resistant gloves, often made of Nomex.
The purpose of anti-flash gear is to provide protection to the head, neck, face and hands from short-duration flame exposure and heat. This equipment is donned by all shipboard personnel whenever a fire breaks out or during periods of heightened readiness.
Anti-flash gear may be accompanied by other protective gear, such as life belts, helmets, gas masks, etc. While it may be worn by first-response fire-fighting parties, regular shipboard fire-fighters will usually wear full protective gear similar to civilian fire fighters.
==History==
Anti-flash gear was introduced in the Royal Navy following the Battle of Jutland,〔Hough, Richard (1983), (''The Great War at Sea, 1914-1918'' ), Oxford University Press, ISBN 9780192158710 (p. 223)〕 when a number of British warships had been destroyed or damaged by flash from burning cordite propellant passing through the shell handling room into the magazine. It was found that the anti-flash hoods and gloves were more effective if flame-proofed with borax or boric acid.〔(''Australia in the war of 1939-1945 : Ser. 5. Medical, Volume 4'' ) Australian War Memorial, 1961 (p. 122)〕
