Hood enables users to escape quickly and safely

Paul Boughton

Dräger has launched its re-engineered escape hood portfolio - the Parat series. The escape hoods are quick and easy to use, protecting users in the Oil and Gas industry from toxic industrial and fire-related gases, vapours and particles for at least 15 minutes in three simple steps: open packaging, remove hood and put it on.

All hoods have a protective seal on the opening of the packaging to indicate whether it has been opened. The filter is sealed tightly with two filter plugs and once the packaging is opened, the filter plugs are automatically released and the hood is ready for use.

Dräger’s escape hoods are equipped with high-performance filters that have a service life of eight years and a total service life of 16 years if the filter is replaced.
