Workers handling hazardous materials or operating in contaminated zones are typically required to wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Only positive-pressure SCBAs are recommended for entry into atmospheres that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).
When would you use a SCBA?
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a type of respirator that contains breathable compressed air. They are used by firefighters and by others who may be working in areas filled with smoke, toxic gas or other contaminants that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).
When Should breathing apparatus be worn in a confined space?
Breathing apparatus is provided to help you safely evacuate a confined space if the gas monitoring equipment indicates a problem with the atmosphere. It will also help sustain life if you get into difficulties whilst in a confined space, until you can be rescued by the emergency services.
