Working without Air Purifying Respirators

Negative release measurement. Respiratory protection redundant.

The results of the release measurement are clear: The concentration of Ox as well as Ex and Tox are clearly below the permitted threshold.

Therefore, is it safe to work without respiratory protection. Control is better: While working in narrow rooms, the concentration of contaminants might change. Possible reasons are inflow contaminants (e.g. gas line leakage) or the work process itself (e.g. release of organic substances during cleaning processes). Therefore, work in narrow rooms requires a permanent personal measurement. For continuous atmosphere monitoring, the use of Dräger gas detection devices for personal or area monitoring are well suited. In case of danger, Dräger escape equipment provide for safe removal from the hazardous area. The different escape filter devices are specially designed for different possible sources of danger.
