\"EscapeLet us consider a situation where your gas alarm<\/a> has gone off. Once that goes off, we will need some means to get out quite quickly, and what we expect is to have an emergency escape<\/a> set available for us. Now, this set is designed to give constant pressure, which is about 10 minutes worth of air. As you deploy it, you can hear it going off. You remove the hood from inside, and you put the hood straight onto your head. Now, why we have the hooded type, which is now becoming the most popular, is you don’t need to be clean shaven and you can still wear glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The opposite type of emergency escape set is known as the face mask type. You must be clean-shaven. You cannot wear glasses because the actual mask fits tightly to your face. Again, these will give 10 minutes worth of air. The only benefit with the face mask<\/a> type is what is called a long demand valve. We can actually breathe slower and actually make it last just a little bit longer. So many industries actually prefer this, compared to the hooded type. We might need an extended set, some that last for 15 minutes, normally used by water authorities as they go into large sewer systems, large tunnels.<\/p>\n
