Ensuring the safety of your workers in the water industry is paramount, given the myriad of hazards they face daily. From navigating confined spaces to confronting toxic gases, the challenges are vast and demand reliable safety solutions.

In wastewater treatment facilities and utility sites, workers often encounter flammable and toxic gases, posing significant risks to their respiratory health. Additionally, confined spaces within sewage systems and treatment plants present the dual threat of hazardous substances and decreased oxygen levels, necessitating robust safety measures.

Protecting all employees against hazards and keeping the plant running safely is pivotal during any water treatment process. Whether working in open areas near hazardous substances or in confined spaces where oxygen may be restricted, respiratory protection is an absolutely essential piece of safety equipment for the job site.

Recognising these challenges, Dräger introduces the PSS® AirBoss, a next-generation Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) that is light and comfortable to wear while providing the user with enhanced connectivity and safety features.

Unlike conventional SCBAs, the PSS® AirBoss prioritises user comfort and safety, addressing key pain points faced by water industry professionals. Its lightweight design and advanced ergonomics minimise physical strain, reducing the risk of injuries and fatigue during prolonged use.

Backward compatibility with associated products such as Cylinders, full face masks and LDV allows for seamless integration and gradual upgrades, ensuring cost-effectiveness without compromising safety standards.

“PSS® AirBoss is the result of 10 years of development that includes medical, physiological and safety expertise, and thorough testing,” says Liz Millward, Marketing Manager Emergency and Rescue Services at Dräger Safety UK.

“To truly revolutionise safety in the water industry, it’s imperative to understand and address the unique challenges faced by workers. The improvements in this new design reduces physical stress on the user, which means a lower risk of injuries and fatigue. Combined with forward-thinking technology and innovation, the PSS® AirBoss is a complete respiration solution for keeping workers safe in any industry where hazardous gases are present.”
