Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a critical life-safety device often needed for emergency situations. In addition to their use in fighting fires, SCBAs are mandatory equipment for confined space entry and for individuals working with refrigerants or any type of cleanup maintenance where hazardous breathing conditions exist. Unless SCBAs are regularly tested to verify proper performance, a loss of function may not be noticed until after an accident has occurred. SimplexGrinnell’s professionally trained and certified technicians test all major brands of SCBA in accordance with ANSI and OSHA standards. Inspection and testing will detect failure of any SCBA to meet the basic NIOSH/NFPA requirements, and quantitatively determines whether the unit meets optimal performance standards.
