At Your Side in the Mining Industry
Dräger has a special relationship with miners born from over 100 years of partnership. It is a relationship that is so deeply ingrained that mine rescuers have taken on the title of “Drägerman”. In fact, no other company has as much experience protecting miners from the unique dangers found with enclosed spaces and rough conditions.
It’s not just about rescue, though. It’s imperative that mines keep running to harvest the materials the modern world needs. In the course of everyday operations, there are hazardous gases and dangerous environments to work through. Today’s miners need to know they’re always protected, even when it’s “business as usual”.

Equipping North American Mine Rescue Teams
Mine rescue is a specialty that requires in-depth knowledge of the underground conditions of a particular site. For this reason, Dräger partners with customers to provide customized safe rescue concepts. Our configurable solutions include a combination of stationary refuge chambers, rescue chambers, and closed-circuit breathing apparatus systems that maximize the success of rescue operations, even in the event of explosions, fires, flooding, or the release of hazardous gases. This partnership goes beyond just mining operations. Dräger works with the national, local, and state agencies to develop best practices in mine safety and rescue.
