🔍 Key Concepts

• Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) low-air alarm function and meaning • Why remaining in a contaminated atmosphere after a low-air alarm is dangerous • Manufacturer and safety training guidance on what actions are allowed vs. not allowed when the alarm activates

💭 Think About

• What does the SCBA alarm bell actually indicate about how much air you have left and how much time that realistically gives you? • In an emergency, is it safer to use low-air or reserve capacity to stay longer in the contaminated area, or to focus only on escaping? • Which answer choices involve continuing operations or resetting alarms instead of making an immediate escape?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options require you to reset the alarm or change levers/valves to keep working instead of prioritizing escape. • Ask yourself: when your life-support gear tells you you’re low on air, should your next step be to stay and manipulate the equipment or to leave the hazard area? • Verify from training materials that the correct action on a low-air alarm is to exit the contaminated area without delay, not to keep working until a second alarm.
