Final episode in our PGI Particulate Protection & Decontamination Seminar Series. So far, we've heard powerful stories from families, survivors, and advocates within the firefighting community. Today, we shift focus to innovation and action.Joining me is Jo Taylor MBE, founder of De-Wipe—a company dedicated to developing scientifically backed decontamination solutions that help reduce the risk of occupational cancer among firefighters. Jo brings a unique perspective: one that bridges scientific insight, product innovation, and a deep commitment to firefighter health.In this conversation, we explore how simple, effective post-incident routines—like proper skin decontamination—can make a life-saving difference. We also discuss Jo’s journey, her mission, and how De-Wipe is helping change the culture around contamination control in the fire service.Brought to you with the support of PGI — leaders in high-performance protective gear — this series aims to educate, inspire, and drive change.
