Abstrakt: In the case of dangerous incidents produced in industrial technological processes, where hydrogen is used, their mastery requires, in addition to a personnel servicing the facilities properly trained for such situations, the participation of professional staff for interventions in dangerous environments. The activity of intervention and rescue in special conditions, in potentially explosive areas due to the appearance of hydrogen can be carried out exclusively by specialized personnel trained and authorized in this regard, personnel using individual breathing protection devices. The critical factor for ensuring the success of an rescue intervention in aggressive toxic or chemical environments consists in the efficient and optimal training process for rescue personnel, in correlation with their testing in environments with high temperatures. Intervention and rescue operations can be physically and psychologically challenging and require rescue personnel to operate in undesirable conditions, such as potentially toxic/flammable/explosive environments. Personnel involved in intervention and rescue operations may encounter contaminated air environments and are required to wear respiratory protective equipment in order to safely perform rescue operations. Air temperature and humidity are likely to be high following fires and explosions. Therefore, members of the response and rescue teams face high temperature environments during rescue operations.
