Self-Rescuers are critical PPE equipment for workers in Mining and Harsh and Hazardous Environments. A self-rescuer provides each worker with an independent, personal breathing device that delivers immediate protection, buying critical time to reach safety or refuge.
Ultimately, self-rescuers are not just regulatory requirements, they are life insurance for miners and industrial workers, providing peace of mind for the workforce, compliance for operators, and proven risk reduction for an industry.
Ocenco has set the benchmark for innovation, reliability, and ease of use. Ocenco self-rescuers are lighter, more compact, and require significantly less servicing than their traditional “chemically created oxygen” competition.

This is a serious value-for-money bit of kit. If you’re new to roof safety, a conscientious DIYer, or a veteran who needs some new gear - this is probably for you! If you need a rescue system after a fall, you’ll need more than this kit.
More than happy with this company. They had the mask in stock, I also needed some info on it and Jim was more than helpful. I would recommend anyone looking for PPE to give them a call if you can't see it online.
