Company profile – CSE Corporation produces Self-Contained Self-Rescuers (SCSRs) designed to be worn on a miner’s belt or stored in an approved area for access in emergency situations. The SR-100 will provide 60 minutes of breathable air. The company is also the maker of portable and machine-mounted gas monitoring instruments for detecting, measuring and monitoring toxic or combustible gases and oxygen. The ultimate goal of all CSE products is to protect and preserve human life.

Company history – In 1969, Samuel Shearer founded CSE Corporation as an environmental research company servicing the coal industry. In the mid-1970s, CSE developed the first of many noxious gas detection devices and quickly became a leader in air-quality monitoring systems. In the early 1980s, CSE introduced the first available one-hour oxygen Self-Contained Self Rescuer (SCSR) when federal regulations began requiring underground miners have access to a 60-minute breathing apparatus. CSE next introduced the first belt-wearable SCSR. CSE has since become a world leader in SCSR development and technology, earning some of the most prestigious awards available in the industry. For example R&D Magazine awarded one of its prestigious R&D 100 awards to CSE for producing one of the most technologically advanced new products in the world.

Today, CSE’s success in mining safety is attributed to the quality and dependability of the products we manufacture and the technical support services we provide.
