Stay Safe in Fire Emergencies with an Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD)

Creating a solid fire safety plan for your home or workplace is essential to ensuring everyone's safety in the event of a fire or hazardous incident. Preparation and the right safety equipment can make a life-saving difference, allowing for a quick and efficient escape and even helping to avoid danger altogether.

One of the most effective tools for emergency situations is the Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD)[AJ1] . This compact and reliable unit is specifically designed to assist individuals in evacuating environments filled with smoke, toxic gases, or a lack of breathable air. The EEBD contains compressed air, offering clean and breathable oxygen for a short duration—usually around 10 minutes—providing just enough time to safely exit the hazardous area.

A key feature of the EEBD is its built-in audible alarm system. This alarm alerts the user when air supply is running low, giving a clear signal of the time remaining. Lightweight and easy to use, this device is especially useful in confined spaces or buildings with limited escape routes, such as ships, industrial facilities, or high-rise structures.
