Supplied Air Respirators

Supplied Air Respirators

Breathing is important. In fact, you can’t live without it and protecting your lungs will make breathing a lot easier. That’s where supplied air respiratory protection comes in. Respiratory protection is a group of PPE with the sole purpose of providing the user with clear air.

Supplied air respirators, also called SCBAs or self-contained breathing apparatuses, are most commonly used when traditional respirator methods do not offer enough protection for the user. A supplied air respirator does exactly what the name states and supplies air to the user rather than just filtering the outside air. Supplied air respirators do not use filters or cartridges since the air it is pumping into the full face mask is not outside air.
