Emergency refuge chambers are an integral part of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for underground mines, tunnels, or chemical operation. They are designed to keep the workers safe in case of fires, explosions, falling rock, flooding, and the release of smoke and other forms of toxic gas. The chambers are equipped with oxygen, power, water, and first aid material to give life support minimum 36 hours. They should resist an explosion with a minimum 15 psi (1.03 bar) overpressure 0.2 sec and impact from projectiles.

There are a variety of facilities that use Armox® and Ramor^® protection plates to keep persons and belongings safe from threats such as explosions, bullets, or the dangers of being exposed to a tornado. They can be stationary or mobile. A tornado shelter in protection steel is lighter and more manageable compared to a concrete shelter.
