Pioneering Solutions—The requirements of our customers in industry, government, the fire service and mining are becoming increasingly complex, and now go far beyond what can be met by a mere supplier of safety equipment and systems. Today, our customers expect across-the-board solutions and want a partner who does more than simply respond to existing situations—they need someone who can advise them with future scenarios in mind, to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. To meet this challenge, Dräger Safety is building on its already outstanding market position in personnel and facility protection, as well as in gas detection technology.

Bearing these principles in mind, Dräger Safety has developed a new branding strategy that, since October 1, 2003, has had global reach, carrying the impactful label Pioneering Solutions.
Greater customer proximity and concentration on the development of comprehensive solutions prompted Dräger Safety to gear its marketing and sales activities toward clearly defined fields of business. The business segments group together customers all over the world imposing similar demands on our safety product and service offering. Specifically, the segments are Fire and
Emergency Services, Industry, Mining, Supply and Disposal Companies and Government Institutions.

All over the world, Dräger Safety can be found in its role as systems supplier at any point along the process chain, making available equipment, services and concepts to ensure the safety of people, the environment and facilities. Dräger Hazard Management keeps a watchful eye on the oil during exploration, extraction, transport and refining into mineral oil products. Intelligent measuring instruments and complex monitoring systems detect potential gas hazards, thereby protecting both personnel and installations. They ensure that operations can continueuninterrupted, and minimize risks. In this context,
Pioneering Solutions refers to the system integration of Dräger Safety’s own products and those of other manufacturers
in the interests of carrying out customized and highly complex projects.
Everyone involved in the production process must receive constant training. They must be just as familiar with handling safety equipment as they are with their own daily duties to ensure that personnel and facilities are not endangered in an emergency scenario. System Solutions from Dräger Safety also offer customers personnel training in safety issues. In the shipping industry, for example, particularly stringent regulations exist and compliancemust be constantly monitored. Firefighting must be
practiced, rescue scenarios developed, and staff taught how to use measuring instruments and respiratory protective devices. Safety on board must be guaranteed— even during the short stays in ports, while safety equipment and facilities are checked, serviced and replaced. Complex gas and contaminant monitoring systems, fire extinguishers, life jackets or personal protective equipment —Dräger Safety Service Center carries out all these services in accordance with the applicable shipping regulations.
In refineries too, where oil is processed, the protection of personnel and facilities is the number one priority: plant-specific gas monitoring systems check for harmful substances and potential explosions, while compressed air breathing apparatus, breathing masks and filters protect those who work there. Medical examinations, instruction in use of equipment, and the physical fitness of wearers of respiratory protective equipment are just as important as the maintenance of safety equipment and facilities themselves.
In the processing plants of the chemicals industry, works fire departments are on constant alert. They rely on their equipment and expertise, and need to be able to focus on their core duties. Here too, Dräger Safety partners fire departments, providing a full range of support in the area of fire protection and prevention, leaving them free to concentrate on the work they are supposed to be doing. Firefighters all over the world contract Dräger Safety to train them, prepare them for the job, keep them fit, advise them, or even relieve them of part of their workload—on site, in Dräger seminar centers or in universities. Of course, Dräger Safety is happy to help, at whatever level is needed—nowadays it is not even unusual for Dräger Safety to take over running a respiratory protection workshop.
Whether advice on occupational safety management issues or a total supplier of personal protective equipment is needed, Dräger Safety provides a comprehensive range of logistic services for this segment and acts as a systems supplier partner.
Pioneering Solutions everywhere!
Before the oil extracted on the Mittelplate rig or in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland finally reaches the end user, it has to pass through many phases of preparation, processing and transport. And when, later, a person in a gasoline-driven car is requested by a police officer to give a sample of saliva at the roadside to determine whether they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, it may well be a measurement instrument designed by Dräger Safety that is used. In Australia and the USA, the Dräger Interlock engine immobilizer is even used as a means of checking some repeat drink driving offenders
every time they attempt to start their vehicles. If the instrument detects any evidence of alcohol consumption, the driver will be prevented from starting the engine. If the driver, having been given the all-clear by the Interlock, then parks the car in an underground car park, the Dräger logo may catch their eye here, too: on measuring heads containing sensors that monitor the carbon monoxide levels in the parking lot. When they enter the bank located above the car park, they can be more or less
certain that a system designed by Dräger Safety’s Gas Detection Systems business unit will have been installed for the purposes of building monitoring.
