BNSF Hazmat Team Response Equipment

As a critical member of the BNSF Hazmat Team, you are issued a specialized set of response gear to use in the event of a hazmat incident.

SCBA

The SCOTT Air-Pak self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a respirator intended to provide respiratory protection to an individual when entering into, working in and exiting an objectionable, an oxygen deficient, and/or an unbreathable (toxic) atmosphere. The SCBA consist of a back-frame and harness assembly, a breathing air cylinder and valve assembly to store and supply breathing air under pressure and a Scott full face-piece with head harness to secure the face-piece to the face.
