SCSR (Self-Contained Self-Rescuer)

A Self-Contained Self-Rescuer (SCSR) is a portable device designed to help individuals breathe safely in emergencies involving toxic or oxygen-deficient atmospheres, such as underground mining or confined spaces. It provides a supply of breathable air through a filtration and carbon dioxide absorption system, allowing the user to evacuate safely until rescue or ventilation is available. SCSRs are lightweight, self-contained units that are activated automatically or manually when needed, ensuring that users can protect themselves from inhaling harmful gases or lack of oxygen during emergencies.
