Safety Hood was a self-contained breathing apparatus invented by Garrett Morgan, a Black inventor and entrepreneur, in 1914. The Safety Hood was designed to protect individuals in dangerous or smoky environments, such as fires or chemical leaks. Morgan's invention was a forerunner to the modern gas mask and was notably used during rescue efforts at the 1916 tunnel explosion rescue in Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition to the Safety Hood, Garrett Morgan was also known for other inventions, such as the three-position traffic signal and the first hair-straightening product for Black women. His contributions to safety and transportation have had a significant impact and his legacy continues to be remembered as an important figure in Black history and technological innovation.
