Mcr Safety 10008293 Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus

Product Description

The MCR SAFETY 10008293 is a self-contained Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus (EEBA) designed to provide breathable air during emergency evacuation from hazardous atmospheres. The unit delivers a rated 10-minute air supply from an aluminum cylinder pressurized to 3000 psi, with a maximum flow rate of 40 liters per minute. A polyurethane hood assembly fits over the head to form a protective enclosure, allowing rapid donning without specialized training. NIOSH-certified for escape-only use, this apparatus is suited for industrial facilities, chemical plants, confined-space operations, and any site where workers may face sudden exposure to toxic or oxygen-deficient air. Safety coordinators, industrial hygienists, and emergency response teams are the primary users.

The 10008293 is intended for emergency egress applications in industrial and commercial environments where personnel must quickly evacuate an area with compromised air quality. The hood-style headgear allows faster deployment than a traditional facepiece, making it practical for workers who are not full-time SCBA users. The complete kit ships with the cylinder, carrier, hood tube, and hood assembly, providing a ready-to-deploy escape package. This unit is appropriate for use in petrochemical, wastewater, manufacturing, and similar settings where hazardous gas or oxygen-deficient conditions are a credible risk during incidents.

Compatibility

Designed as an NIOSH-certified escape-only breathing apparatus for industrial emergency egress applications where a hood-style EEBA with an aluminum cylinder is required.

Installation Notes

EEBAs are escape-only devices and must not be used for entry into immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) atmospheres. Units should be stored in the provided carrier in a readily accessible location per the site emergency action plan and applicable OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 requirements. Inspect the cylinder pressure gauge regularly to confirm the unit remains fully charged and serviceable. Cylinder hydrostatic testing and requalification must be performed at intervals specified by DOT regulations and the manufacturer.
