Description
An escape device is a compact emergency breathing solution designed to help individuals evacuate safely from environments where toxic gases, smoke, or oxygen deficiency pose immediate danger. Quick to don and simple to operate, it provides short-term respiratory protection during life-threatening situations such as fires, chemical leaks, or industrial accidents.
Escape devices are widely used across industries where workers may encounter hazardous atmospheres unexpectedly — giving them crucial extra minutes to exit safely or reach a secure refuge area.
Why an Escape Device Is Essential
- Immediate protection in emergencies
Filters or supplies breathable air instantly when the environment becomes unsafe. - Lightweight and portable
Easy to carry on a belt, in a pocket, or mounted in high-risk locations for fast access. - Minimal training required
Clear and simple design ensures workers can activate and wear it quickly under pressure. - Available in different protection types
Filtering, compressed-air, and self-contained escape solutions for varied hazards. - Short but sufficient duration
Typically provides 10–30 minutes of protection — enough to evacuate safely.
Typical Applications
- Oil & gas facilities
- Manufacturing and chemical plants
- Confined spaces and underground works
- Mining operations
- Marine and shipping environments
- Emergency response and rescue teams
Choosing the Right Escape Device
Selection depends on:
- Type of airborne hazard (smoke, toxic gases, low oxygen)
- Evacuation distance and route
- User training level
- Industry compliance standards
Our team can help you identify a device that meets both regulatory requirements and the actual risks present at your site.
