SCBASelf Contained Breathing Apparatus

• A breathing apparatus delivers breathable air from an independent source to the wearer, in the case of a self contained breathing apparatus this source of air is cylinders which are carried by the wearer

What is an SCBA?

2

• An SCBA provides breathable air in environments which are immediately dangerous to life or health, such as oxygen deficient atmospheres. As the units are positive pressure they also offer a high protection factor and are therefore suitable for use in highly toxic environments.
