The Elsa (Emergency Life Support Apparatus) Safety Dash is an emergency breathing system with a constant flow positive pressure escape system along with an integrated hood.
Overview[]
It has been designed for use in industrial and marine environments for escape purposes. The Elsa Dash is available in both 10-minute and 15-minutes versions. It is available in two colour systems either orange high visibility PVC (bag version) or black anti-static jacket version. Air is supplied via a steel 200 BAR cylinder.
The hood features a cuboid design combined with elastomeric neck seal.
The carrying bag is made of PVC coated nylon, which is coloured for high visibility and is both flame retardant and chemical splash resistant. There is an antistatic option for working in potentially explosive atmospheres and this is made of polyurethane. The bag can be worn across the chest, as a bandolier or worn with an optional waistbelt.
The bag version of the Elsa Dash features automatic activation upon donning. The cuboid design means that the hood allows wearers with glasses to use it without difficulty. The constant flow hood is manufactured from polyurethane coated viscose. This is flame retardant and coloured for high visibility. This provides a stretch material with an elastomeric neck seal. The optionally clear bubble visor is made from polyurethane.
