About the HEAD15 Working/Rescue Breathing Apparatus

The HEAD15 Working/Rescue Breathing Apparatus is designed for those needing emergency protection whilst working or rescuing those already in danger.  It provides 15 minutes wearer protection at a higher breathing rate and can be used for protection against smoke, toxic contamination and oxygen deficiency.

The HEAD15 is lightweight, quick to don and easy to use, featuring a unique latex neck seal and oronasal mask design that negate the need for a face fit test. It is head worn meaning the wearer isn’t constrained or restricted with a cylinder or bag across their body. The HEAD15 Working/Rescue Breathing Apparatus enables individuals to enter a hazardous environment and work or rescue others for up to 10 minutes with the knowledge they have an additional five minutes of breathing time to ensure a safe exit.

Product Support
"During the early stages of the pandemic, Semmco LPS provided exceptional support to us, maintaining a responsive and speedy refurbishment programme for the HEAD CSRE sets that we used."
Patrick Morris, HM Prison & Probation Service, June 2020
Thank you Semmco LPS, we sent some CSRE Sets for urgent refurbishment and got them back very quickly. Really appreciated.
Dan Spencer, Contract Services Support & Fire Liaison Officer, Serco Justice & Immigration
"We compared the HEAD10 to our previous escape breathing apparatus. The cost saving and less cumbersome design made it very appealing. If we needed to use it, I have full confidence in the simplicity of this device and it enabling a safe and efficient escape."

How long can the HEAD products be stored for?

The sets can be stored for up to 12 years but should be validated at 6 and 9 years respectively.

What’s the difference between Escape and Working/Rescue sets?

The main difference between the escape and working/rescue sets is the breathing rate that they are tested to, to define their rated duration.  Working/rescue sets are tested at 50 L/min and escape sets are tested at 35 L/min. When selecting the set that you require a suitable risk assessment by a competent person should be completed that will define whether you need an escape (move from/through the hazard to safety) set or a working/rescue (go into a hazard to complete work or rescue) set.
Visually the Semmco HEAD sets are provided in an orange carry case for escape sets and a blue carry case for working/rescue sets. The EEBD escape sets are provided in an orange case.

Are there instructions or videos showing how to don and doff the sets?

Do I need to have face fit testing for the HEAD Set’s?
