The team at Kametstal’s gas rescue station is a highly skilled group that risks their lives daily to ensure the safety of others. The company’s management understands the importance of their work and is committed to providing them with safe and comfortable working conditions. Recently, two drying cabinets were delivered to the gas rescue station, allowing for quick and efficient drying of gas protection equipment after hazardous gas-related tasks.

Gas protection equipment, a crucial element of the safety system, requires proper maintenance and storage. In the past, gas rescue station employees had to air-dry the breathing apparatuses outdoors after cleaning, which exposed them to dust and extended the drying process.

The new cabinets can dry the equipment in just 30 minutes. An added benefit of the cabinets is the ultraviolet lamps, which disinfect the surfaces of the breathing systems. Each cabinet can hold up to five units of gas protection equipment. On average, the rescue team uses about 60 units of equipment during a shift.

“Our new drying cabinets are, without exaggeration, a breakthrough for gas rescue work in Ukraine. The specialists at Kametstal’s gas rescue station developed the technical specifications for the manufacturer, which customised the cabinets to meet all our needs. This new equipment will help our team work more efficiently and safely. We are grateful to Metinvest for their care and support!” said Roman HOLUB, head of Kametstal Gas Rescue Station.
