When should you don your SCSR?

• A. At the first sight or sign of smoke, fire or 50 ppm CO
• B. Only after a mine rescue team arrives
• C. If you feel dizzy or faint
• D. At the end of your shift

Answer: (A)

Donn your SCSR at the first sign of danger—smoke, fire, or carbon monoxide reaching about 50 ppm. The device is a personal emergency respirator meant for immediate self‑rescuer use, so putting it on right away protects your lungs and lets you start evacuating before exposure worsens. Waiting for rescue teams is too slow, and delaying until you feel dizzy or faint means you’ve already been exposed, which makes a safe escape much harder. The end of your shift has nothing to do with when you should don it. When you detect danger, put the SCSR on promptly and head toward the safest exit.
