How can we improve self-rescue equipment for mining professionals?
SCSR units are used in the mining industry as a first line of defence in case of contamination of breathable air. The units offers a limited supply of oxygen in a closed breathing cycle, allowing personnel to get to safety. The goal of this project was to design a unit that is easier to use and more comfortable to wear over long periods of time.
