What is a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)?
A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a device worn by individuals to provide breathable air in environments that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH). It is commonly used by firefighters, industrial workers, and others who may be exposed to toxic fumes, smoke, or oxygen-deficient atmospheres. This equipment is essential for ensuring safety in hazardous conditions, especially those involving toxicological risks.
