Be optimally prepared for emergencies in workplaces
—In your industrial plant critical situations can arise at any time. All the more important is a detailed emergency plan, regular team training and the right escape & rescue equipment. This enables a rapid reaction and an effective emergency response. We support your emergency preparedness in the workplace with structured emergency management, specific escape equipment and professional emergency training.
Professional management of emergency plans
—We know that sudden and fully unplanned situations with hazardous substances can occur within seconds and no escape-scenario is the same. Chemical and industrial plants are subject to high safety requirements, where safety managers have to manage the remaining risks in the best possible way. However, if serious incidents arise, such as toxic gas accumulation, exceeding explosion limits or other life-threatening events, emergency preparedness and emergency plans must be effective.
A functioning safety culture consists of solid risk analysis and planning, the right technical equipment, and particularly well-prepared and trained employees. A detailed escape and rescue plan is the basis for all measures emergency teams or plant fire brigades need to take in case of an incident.
Dräger offers you an extensive range of consulting and planning services for your safety management. We can support you with work-based alarm and hazard prevention plans, evacuation procedures and emergency plans.
Filtering Escape Devices
—If you use a filtering escape device that relies on ambient air, there must be a certain level of oxygen available in the ambient air (in Germany, for example, the minimum is 17%), the hazardous substance must be known, and the concentration must lie within the limits for using a filtering escape device. These systems are particularly well-suited for short escape paths.
Dräger PARAT® Filtering Escape Hoods
The PARAT® filtering escape hoods were developed with users, placing the focus on the fastest possible escape. Optimized operation and wearing comfort, a robust case and a sealed filter ensure protection from toxic industrial and/or fire-related gases, vapours and particles for at least 15 minutes.
Compressed-air escape devices and oxygen self-rescuer
—Self-contained breathing devices provide a clean air supply that is independent from ambient air. They are used when hazardous substances occur at high concentrations and/or oxygen is depleted and allow an escape time of up to 15 minutes. Especially when working underground, a longer escape time is necessary to reach safety. This is where the oxygen self rescuers come in with an escape time of up to an hour.

During an emergency in mining or tunnel construction, refuge or rescue chambers create a breathable atmosphere in a sealed room until help arrives. They are available as a standard version or according to your requirements with special equipment and devices.
