Training with a Self-Rescuer: How Training is Currently Conducted
alt

Practice in donning the self-rescuer

alt

Practice in opening the device, placing the mouthpiece, and applying the nose clip

alt

Practice in activating the self-rescuer

alt

Use of heat chambers to simulate inhalation heat, devices to simulate breathing resistance, and training self-rescuers with 15-30 minutes of operational time.

Why Change the Training Approach for Self-Rescuer Use?

Lack of Feedback for Miners
Miners can't monitor the self-rescuer's resource usage or their breathing, reducing safety.
alt
No Feedback for Supervisors
Without data, it's hard to assess training effectiveness.
alt
Multiple Products for a Single Training Goal
Increases costs and fragments the training program.
alt
Short Training Sessions
Skills develop slower, lowering training effectiveness.
alt
Training Location Restrictions
Limits the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the training program.

Who we are?

Life Breeze — a Finland-based company
alt
a team of engineers and IT developers with over 20 years of experience
in designing mine self-rescuers and testing equipment.
Understanding the intricate design of these life-saving devices, which rely on complex chemical reactions, we felt compelled to create a product that helps miners learn how to effectively use self-rescuers in emergencies, thereby enhancing industrial safety in the mining sector.

Our product

alt
Smart training solution LIFE BREEZE
This is is an innovative technology for training miners on expectations in self contained self-rescue (SCSR). LIFE BREEZE makes it possible to measure miners' self-rescue skills and improve them based on digital data.
alt
Smart SCSR simulator LIFE BREEZE
Smart training solution LIFE BREEZE consists of a smart self-rescue simulator that imitates the ergonomics and mass of a real self-rescuer, the breathing conditions in it, such as inspiratory temperature, elevated carbon dioxide concentration and breathing resistance. Its main advantage is to provide feedback to the miner about remainer time of emergency escape through smart-watch.
alt
Saas service LIFE BREEZE
We provide a SaaS service to the training organiser. It provides the supervisor with feedback on the miner's breathing parameters during training, identifies the miner who removes the mouthpiece of the smart simulator during training, and generates a digital report of the training results to inform further strategic occupational safety decisions at the mine.
Breathe smart.
