Working in a confined space poses a number of safety risks and therefore it is essential that the correct safety equipment be used. There are a number of reasons why a confined space can be hazardous to workers, so having all the correct equipment is paramount. Breathing apparatus is a huge part of confined space safety, when an accident occurs in a confined space it is not only those in the space which are at risk but also those who are rescuing them and for this reason escape breathing apparatus is necessary. Escape breathing apparatus is used for exactly as you would think, escaping a confined space safely; they have less air in them as they are only to be used for escaping rather than continuously like self-contained breathing apparatus.
