Escape sets: Maximising safety in confined spaces

Escape Sets

key points

  • Escape Sets are safety kits for quick exits from confined spaces, including SCBAs, harnesses, and evacuation devices
  • They ensure a dependable air supply during emergencies when oxygen levels are low or harmful gases are present
  • Drager Saver CF: Easy-to-use hood, fits all head sizes, provides 10-15 minutes of air, and complies with safety standards
  • Drager Saver PP: Full-face mask, automatic activation, and enhanced visibility with luminescent panels
  • Escape sets are crucial for emergency response and safety compliance in confined spaces

Confined spaces can be challenging to work in due to limited entry and exit points, making it difficult to escape in an emergency. That’s why having a reliable escape set available is an important part of a safe working setup. A well-chosen escape set provides breathable air and helps workers exit swiftly and safely if needed. It should be simple to use, easy to access, and suitable for the specific risks of the job.

What is an Escape Set?

Escape sets are safety kits designed to help workers get out of dangerous areas quickly in case of an emergency. These kits typically include equipment like a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), a harness, and a descent or evacuation device. These sets are made to give clean air and support when escaping confined spaces where the air might be low on oxygen or filled with harmful gases.

Choosing the right Escape Set for you

When choosing an escape set, there are a few points to consider:

  • Choose one that provides clean air immediately and works reliably in an emergency.
  • A good escape set should activate as soon as it’s opened, with no complicated steps
  • It should be a practical size and light enough to easily carry, transport, and store
  • Easy to use in an emergency when the user may be under stress.
