Your Safety, Our Priority Since 2001
As a French manufacturer specializing in the design and production of emergency refuge chambers and ventilation systems, we support professionals working in underground environments to ensure the safety of their operators.
Underground works involve numerous hazards, which is why ensuring the safety of operators is an absolute necessity.
More broadly, personal and collective protective equipment have played a fundamental role in improving working conditions underground, thanks to technological advances and the efforts made by the various stakeholders in this field.
Sub’roca draws on its expertise to support underground construction professionals and contribute to effective risk management.
The Safety and Well-Being of Others
From a very young age, the principles of protection and safety have been deeply rooted in me. A keen young DIY enthusiast from the age of 9, I took part in renovation work at the family home, with one rule always in mind: wearing appropriate protective and safety equipment.
“Better safe than sorry.”
My experience as a military firefighter exposed me to extremely serious situations, quickly making me aware of the need to improve the means of protection and safety available to people. Many situations could have been avoided if specific protective equipment had been available.
Today, I am committed to equipping underground sites with safety systems to increase operators’ chances of survival.
