Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus
Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus
An emergency escape breathing apparatus (EEBA) provides breathable air to allow the user to escape from an environment that has become immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) due to low oxygen levels or contaminated air. Designed to be donned quickly, EEBA have 5-, 10-, or 15-minute capacities and are equipped with a cylinder, breathing tube, and hood. EEBA selection should be based on an estimate of how much time a user may need to escape IDLH atmospheres.
EEBA are assigned to individual users or placed in strategic locations for quick access. Environments where breathable air may suddenly change to hazardous air include confined spaces, chemical or petrochemical facilities, manufacturing plants, pharmaceutical industries, water treatment plants, or general industries.
EEBA replacement parts and accessories may include hoods, straps, harnesses, carry bags, and dust caps. EEBA do not require fit testing. Regulatory compliance details can be obtained at the individual product level.
