Tests of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Received from Lubbock, Texas, Fire Department
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) tested three Scott self-contained breathing apparatus (models II and IIA Air-Paks and Presur-Paks) and a regulator from a fourth Scott self-contained breathing apparatus, to determine their Bureau of Mines (BOM) or Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)/NIOSH approval status. These apparatus and the regulator were sent to NIOSH at Morgantown, West Virginia, by the Lubbock, Texas Fire Department. The apparatus were identified as having been worn at a fire scene by three fire fighters who died at that fire scene on March 25, 1979. The regulator was taken from an inservice piece of fire apparatus which may not have been on the fire scene. NIOSH examined the apparatus and regulator, as received, and found that critical parts were missing, damaged and/or defective. The apparatus and regulator were tested and failed to meet several applicable requirements of BOM and MSHA/NIOSH respirator approval regulations (Title 30 Code of Federal Regulations: BOM Schedule 13E and MSHA/NIOSH Part 11).
