Dräger Refuge and Rescue Chambers
Protective chambers from Dräger protect your employees by creating a breathable atmosphere within a sealed room. As escape chambers they provide the option of a break and – as rescue chambers designed for a prolonged stay – they provide reliable protection until help arrives.
Product benefits
- Refuge chamber
- When escaping from a hazardous area, a person may tire and require and area to rest and recuperate to continue the escape. A refuge chamber that is activated via an alarm schedule during an emergency, can serve as an intermediate station for escapees for up to eight hours. In addition to communication facilities the affected individuals – if the chamber is suitably configured – also have access to protective equipment to allow them to continue.
- Rescue chamber
- If the escape route during an emergency is too long or even cut off, a rescue chamber provides protection for the affected individuals until external rescue workers reach them. This can be up to 48 hours. The available air will be regenerated.

Product Information
Even today, mining and tunnel construction are still filled with dangers for those working underground. Complying with legal guidelines, regulations and standards alone is no guarantee of safety. Risks can only be detected early on, systematically reduced and eliminated if the building contractor operates an allencompassing system of risk management.
Tunnel construction personnel face serious risks in their work underground. Building sites which are a long way into the tunnel and branch out in different directions mean that it is virtually impossible to escape through the smoke-filled tunnel in the event of a fire.
