An Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD), as commonly defined, is devices that can help people escape an area with risky conditions such as fire, smoke, poisonous gases, etc. The device can let you quickly escape an area or surrounding where it is crucial for you to vacate it. The covered area demands at least two EEBDs, while the engine room carriage depends on the layout and the count of people in the space, both approved as defined in the Fire system safety code (FSSC). Knowing the construction and working of EEBD before anyone buys it is essential.
The EEBD has a loud alarm that defines the depletion of open-air within ten minutes of usage time, allowing the person wearing time to evacuate his unsafe surroundings. It is important to note that the EEBD is NOT firefighting equipment and is in place ONLY to help the individual vacate his dangerous surroundings. It should never be used to fight fire or evacuate casualties under any circumstances.
