What Kind Of Scba Might Be Needed?

Answer»

• An SCBA approved for entry and escape from a hazardous atmosphere. Minimum 30-minute rating.

• A combination SCBA/SAR (Supplied air respirator) approved for entry and escape from a hazardous atmosphere.

With combination SCBA/SAR you must enter the contaminated area using the AIRLINE if the SCBA has a rated LIFE of 3, 5, or 10 minutes. For 15-minute and higher ratings you can enter using the air cylinder as long as you use 20% or LESS of this air reaching the point where you PLUG into an airline. An alarm and gauge is required on the system.
