personal injury or death.
• The Universal Safe Escape Respirator provides
LIMITED protection. It is NIOSH approved for res-
piratory protection during escape only for up to 15
minutes from atmospheres containing CBRN
(chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear)
warfare agents; however it cannot protect against
all possible warfare agents.
• Some CBRN agents may not present immediate
effects from exposure, but can result in delayed
impairment, illness, or death.
• DO NOT use without a complete understanding of
the instructions and limitations for this respirator
and proper training. Misuse can prevent the respi-
