SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OPERATION, CARE, USE I.

PURPOSE OF TRAINING A.

To provide selected employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely use a Scott Air "Pak".

B.

To ensure employees understand that the Scott Air "Pak" is a primary tool to ensure that they have safe air to breathe when entering areas with high airborne radioactive contanination and other toxic contaminants potentially hazardous to health or oxygen deficient atmospheres.

This usage may occur during fire fighting, repair work, etc.

C.

To develop understanding that Scott Air Paks are only as reliable as men and women who use them.

  • (Only adequate training can ensure this reliability.)

II. DESCRIPTION OF PARTS

B.

To recognize and understand operation of parts:

Full face mask, corrugated rubber hose-breathing tube, demand regulator *(pressure demand), air supply cylinder with hose, back plate with harness, by-

~

pass valve (emergency) regulator shut-off valve.

C.

Show and test parts - employees develop ability to don and remove Scott Air Paks, and proper methods of testing regulator and entire device prior to entering hazardous area.

III. OPERATION AND DETAILS OF "PAKS" A.

To teach
