LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Smiths Detection<\/a>, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, has today been announced as a sponsor and supplier of X-ray screening and detection equipment for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, helping to create a secure environment for all attendees.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Games will attract over one million visitors between 28 July and 8 August 2022, highlighting the importance of implementing the highest levels of security screening capabilities to ensure the safety of guests, athletes, volunteers, and fans.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe X-ray systems supplied by Smiths Detection will be used to screen sporting equipment, incoming goods, and the belongings of attendees to the Games \u2013 including visitors, athletes, and their support teams.

\nIn line with the Games\u2019 carbon neutral legacy and circular economy ambitions, the equipment supplied by Smiths Detection for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will come from its rental service, drastically reducing emissions that would have been created from the manufacture of new equipment, and any emissions resulting from Smiths Detection equipment during the games will be offset through a Midlands-based environmental organisation.\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to be playing a critical role in the smooth operation of the event, by helping to create a safe environment for attendees, athletes and staff.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
