At SafeShel, we are on a mission to redefine emergency preparedness. Founded in Ireland, our company is built on decades of life-saving experience, combining expertise from the Coast Guard, Military, and emergency response sectors. Our goal? To develop essential, life-saving products that protect individuals and support first responders in the most critical moments.
The Story Behind SafeShel
A Vision Rooted in Experience
Our journey began with Peter, a dedicated volunteer with the Greenore Coast Guard for over 40 years. With an astonishing 1,400+ life-saving missions, Peter has witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by emergency responders and the heartbreaking impact on families during crises.
Through his experience, Peter identified a critical gap—a need for a portable, rapidly deployable solution that enhances privacy, dignity, and survival rates in medical emergencies and disaster situations.
The Evolution of an Idea
Eighteen months ago, Peter set out to bring this vision to life. He collaborated with emergency professionals, industry experts, and engineers, ensuring SafeShel met the precise needs of first responders, paramedics, and emergency agencies. With the support of the Louth Enterprise Board, SafeShel has rapidly progressed from an idea to a game-changing product now being embraced by emergency services and sports organizations across Ireland.
