    Study Notes

    Operational Check for SCBA

    • Daily inspection of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is mandatory for all personnel.
    • Inspections occur after cleaning and disinfection; no inspections should happen if hazardous contaminants may be present.
    • The responsibility for inspection is personal and cannot be delegated.

    SCBA Inspection Process

    • SCBA inspection includes a thorough Visual Inspection and a Functional Test.
    • If any part of the Visual Inspection fails or the SCBA does not function correctly during the Functional Tests, it must be taken out of service.

    Component Inspection Checklist

    • Check for overall SCBA condition including deterioration, dirt, cracks, and signs of chemical damage.
    • Inspect straps such as shoulder pads, lumbar pads, and facepiece head harness for wear, tears, or missing components.

    Facepiece Inspection

    • Examine the lens for any cracks, scratches, deformation, or discoloration.
    • Ensure a proper seal and fit of the facepiece rubber to the lens ring.
    • Confirm the exhalation valve is clear, mobile, and functional.
    • Check the inlet for damage and ensure the inhalation valve is correctly positioned.
    • Inspect the nosecup for intact check valves and secure fit to housing.

    Regulator Inspection

    • Verify the absence of moisture and debris in the regulator, especially in microphone ports.
    • Ensure o-rings and seal rings are intact and free from damages.
    • For SCBAs with quick connect hoses, check rubber seals for deterioration and clarity of openings, and ensure quick connect fittings are unobstructed.
