Importance of Temporary Refuge Shelters in Hazardous Environments: Features and Benefits by TLS

​         Temporary refuge shelters are an important facility used in hazardous environments, such as the oil & gas industry and the chemical industry, etc.
       During oil and gas exploration and production, accidents may occur, such as oil spills, fires, etc., and chemical releases or explosions may also occur during chemical operations. These unexpected events may lead to the evacuation and closure of the working platform, so the temporary refuge shelter can provide a safe place for workers on the platform to wait for rescue in a safe environment.
      HVAC and positive pressure systems inside the shelter protect personnel and equipment from harsh outdoor conditions such as extreme weather, dust, sand, storms, H2S, CH4 or other toxic gas pollution, explosions, etc. Provide evacuees with breathable air for 1-4 hours in a closed TR shelter room. And communication device could be set in the shelter to communicate with the outside world.
      TR shelter is one of TLS' featured products, please do not hesitate to contact us for more information about the temporary refuge shelter and toxic gas refuge.
