SAVER Project: Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is an essential piece of personal protective equipment for the first responder community and for industry. SCBAs supply breathing air from a source carried by users, allowing them to enter areas that pose an immediate danger to life and health. Emergency responders use SCBAs to enter oxygen-deficient and other extremely hazardous environments. SCBAs can weigh more than 30 pounds and require special training to use safely.
