🔍 Key Concepts

• Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) design and how it is worn on the body • How added weight and bulk affect balance, movement, and fit through openings • How visibility and mobility can be reduced by emergency equipment

💭 Think About

• Think about which of these effects (balance, mobility, vision) are realistically caused by an SCBA unit as it is normally used on board. • Consider whether an SCBA normally has a lifeline attached, or if that sounds more like a different type of rescue/breathing setup. • Ask yourself: would the mask and cylinder together affect only one thing, or could they reasonably affect several things at once?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how the mask/face piece of an SCBA affects what you can see to the sides. • Consider whether an SCBA cylinder and harness on your back would raise, lower, or shift your center of gravity, and how that might affect stability in tight spaces or ladders. • Check if the exam materials or manuals describe a lifeline as standard equipment with SCBA, or if that is associated with another type of breathing or rescue gear.
