Why Ocenco?
Mining operations demand life-saving equipment that doesn’t compromise daily mobility or comfort. That’s where Ocenco’s solutions stand apart.
First-breath capability: The M-20’s compressed oxygen supply starts flowing immediately upon removal from its case, so there’s no ramp up required. This contrasts with KO₂-based devices, which rely on a chemical reaction and often require users to breathe into the unit to activate it, exposing them to toxic air during critical seconds.
Compressed oxygen system: Unlike traditional KO₂ units, the M-20 uses a compressed oxygen cylinder and scrubbing material to remove carbon dioxide and deliver clean oxygen. This system enhances both reliability and safety during emergency use.
Lightweight, ergonomic design: The M-20 is significantly lighter than competitor products and features a concave shape that fits comfortably against the user’s hip. Designed for wearability over long shifts, it’s ideal for daily carry, minimizing fatigue while maximizing preparedness.
Built for everyday readiness: The M-20’s sleek and durable design ensures it’s always out of the way of daily work activities but conveniently at hand, if needed in an emergency.
American Made: All Ocenco products are proudly made in the U.S.A using American Suppliers.
M-20 Self-Contained Self-Rescuer

Ocenco’s flagship SCSR, the M-20, is a compressed oxygen belt-worn unit designed for rapid response in IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) environments.
- First-breath capability
- Duration: 10 minutes-NIOSH/MSHA
- Weight: 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg)
- Compact and ergonomic
- Service Life:15 years with 5-year factory service intervals if belt-worn
- Easy daily visual inspections, if belt-worn
- Ideal for mining, tunnelling, and confined space operations
EBA 6.5
Designed for use in cache stations rather than belt wear, the EBA 6.5 provides up to an hour of breathable air for escape scenarios. Manual adjustment of the oxygen valve will provide a user at rest up to 8 hours of respiratory protection. It’s a critical part of any mine’s fixed safety infrastructure.
Training Equipment
Ocenco also manufactures training tools to support proper usage and compliance:
- Trainer Unit: Allows users to practice donning techniques, including mouthpiece insertion and nose clip application.
- Expectation Trainer: Simulates the breathing resistance and heat of a live unit, giving users a realistic preview of what to expect in an emergency.
Certifications
Ocenco’s products meet a wide array of international safety standards, including:
- NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health)
- MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration)
