Training with the SR-MP
About the
SR-MP
This session will show you how to practice with the
SR-MP
,
which demonstrates the experience of using both of the
self-contained self-rescuer (
SCSR
) models you might see on the
job: the black
SRLD
and the orange
SR-100
. You will feel the
fit of the mouthpiece and nose clamp, and the breathing
resistance and heat that build up toward the end of an
SCSR
’s
operating duration.
What you learn here will help you work with greater comfort
and safety during an escape.
SR-MP
Components
The
SR-MP
has two main components:
▸ Mouthpiece assembly: Includes mouthpiece and nose
clamp similar to those on the
SCSR
▸ Canister: Contains chemical granules that simulate the
heat and resistance you will feel when using your
SCSR
The
SR-MP
is not an escape device and will not protect you
from smoke or toxic gases. While using it, you will be breathing
the air around you. Use the
SR-MP
only in a classroom setting.

TIP
LEARN TO SURVIVE
Pay close attention when your
training officer demonstrates
the SR-MP. Try it out according
to instructions, and spend as
much time as you can getting
used to the experience. If you
have any questions about the
SR-MP or your SCSR, ask your
trainer or foreman. If you do
have to use your SCSR, this
training will help you focus on
your escape without worrying
about how it feels or how
it works.
