Tunnel construction is a highly complex project. The potential for problems with the builders underground are very high. Even though deadly accidents and occupational illnesses, such as silicosis, are still the sad reality, their frequency has been reduced in the last years, thanks to the continuous efforts of integrated safety management systems. In order to continue this trend, Dräger Safety continues to expand their products and services.
