Dräger emergency escape breathing devices (EEBD)
An Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD) supplies breathable air in environments that are contaminated or lack sufficient oxygen, enabling a safe escape during emergencies. This self-contained device typically provides 10 to 30 minutes of respiratory protection. EEBDs are widely utilized in maritime and various industrial settings. For instance, they are mandatory on ships and in numerous industrial facilities to mitigate the risk of sudden air quality degradation. In potentially hazardous workplaces, EEBDs are essential for safety compliance. They ensure that workers can breathe during an emergency evacuation by offering respiratory protection against asphyxiation and inhalation of toxic gases or smoke. These hazardous atmospheres, often found in confined spaces, can be filled with toxic gases, smoke, or lack oxygen, posing immediate threats to health and safety. EEBDs offer a rapid means of escape.
