EEBDs - Safety and Protection
Emergency Escape Breathing Devices (EEBDs) are compressed-air or oxygen-generating escape respirators carried aboard ships for evacuation through smoke, toxic gases, or oxygen-deficient atmospheres. They provide short-duration respiratory protection and are not intended for firefighting, rescue, or re-entry.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply EEBDs for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install in clearly marked, readily accessible locations along designated escape routes and in machinery spaces, following the vessel fire control plan and manufacturer instructions. Secure units against vibration, heat, moisture, and unauthorized removal. Confirm seals and inspection labels remain intact. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Carry out routine visual inspections, verify expiry dates, pressure indicators, seals, hood or facepiece condition, and storage-case integrity. Do not service, recharge, or replace components except through the manufacturer or an authorized service provider. Replace immediately after activation or damage. |
| Safety Notes | Use only for emergency escape and never for firefighting, rescue, tank entry, or re-entry into contaminated spaces. Donning must follow onboard training and the manufacturer's instructions. Do not remove the hood or facepiece in a contaminated atmosphere, and evacuate immediately after activation. |
