Self-Contained Breathing Apparatuses

When working in confined spaces near hazardous chemicals, be prepared for an Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) atmosphere. Commonly stocked in labs, industrial facilities, or on gas lines, a worker can quickly strap on this apparatus for 30 minutes of breathable air. The full face mask forms a complete seal to prevent any contaminants from leaking in.

For fast access, hang on the wall using a mounting bracket (sold separately).
