• Description:
  As part of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program (FFFIPP), the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) agreed to examine and evaluate a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) unit identified as Survivair Panther 30 minute, 4500 psig, SCBA. This SCBA status investigation was assigned NIOSH Task Number 20731. The NIOSH Division of Safety Research (NIOSH/DSR) and the Hamilton Fire Department were advised that NIOSH/NPPTL would provide a written report of the inspections and any applicable test results. The SCBA unit was contained in a cardboard shipping box and delivered to the NIOSH facility in Morgantown, West Virginia on January 13, 2016. Once the cardboard box containing the unit arrived, it was taken to the H building and locked in the evidence cage located in room 1513. The inspection was conducted on March 3, 2016 and placed back into the locked evidence cage until the testing evaluations.
