SCBA

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a breathing apparatus designed to provide air to the user so that the user can breathe independently.

SCBA is used by:

- Firefighters

- Rescue Officer

- Emergency Response Team

- People who work in dangerous environments: Environments filled with thick smoke or toxic/hazardous gases

- Companies that store chemicals on-site that could create hazardous situations

SCBA consists of:

- Area to store air

- Pressure regulator that ensures air flows at a safe and consistent speed, so users don't run out of air too quickly

- Respiratory equipment: Mouthpiece and mask

Different types of SCBA:

- The SCBA that is used as a rebreather that filters, adds, and recirculates exhaled air

- The SCBA that provides fresh air every time the user breathes

- The SCBA that provides air stably

To use SCBA properly, the users should have knowledge about:

- When it will be required

- Components of SCBA

- Safe working practices and controls while using SCBA

- Correct testing and maintenance of the SCBA

- Breathing principles

- Hazardous gas

- Specific protective gear needed for different chemicals

- Associated risks of chemical reactivity and health hazards
