Ocenco Self-Rescuers for Canadian Mines – M20 and EBA 6.5

Ocenco M20 for Underground Mine Workers

The Ocenco M20 self-contained self-rescuer is a compact, belt-wearable device designed for emergency escape from mines, tunnels and confined spaces.

It carries its own compressed-oxygen supply, allowing the wearer to breathe independently of the surrounding atmosphere. Demand-regulated oxygen delivery supplies oxygen as the user inhales.

For underground workers, carrying the device on a belt keeps it close at hand as they move between working areas. Its compact design makes it a practical consideration for operations assessing how workers will access respiratory protection during an emergency.

Ocenco EBA 6.5 for Mine Escape Planning

The Ocenco EBA 6.5 self-contained self-rescuer is a closed-circuit breathing apparatus that uses stored compressed oxygen.

Within its breathing circuit, carbon dioxide is removed from exhaled breath and oxygen is replenished for the wearer. A clear protective case allows visual inspection of the device’s condition.

Canadian mines assessing longer underground escape routes or equipment caches can consider the EBA 6.5 as part of their emergency arrangements. Its placement should reflect the mine’s escape strategy, including access from working areas and the role of any refuge facilities.

Choosing Between the M20 and EBA 6.5

The choice depends on how the device will be carried, where it will be stored and the escape requirements identified for the operation.

The M20’s belt-wearable format supports individual access to emergency respiratory protection. The EBA 6.5 can be considered where the escape plan calls for a larger oxygen supply or strategically positioned units.

Some operations may have a role for both models. Equipment selection should account for underground travel distances, expected escape conditions, storage locations and the approvals required for the specific application and jurisdiction.

Preparing Equipment and Workers

Purchasing self-rescuers is one part of emergency preparedness. Workers need to understand where devices are located, how to inspect them and how to don the specific model they may need to use.

Inspection, storage and servicing should follow Ocenco’s instructions for each device. Where a mine uses both the M20 and EBA 6.5, training should address both models and their roles within the site’s escape arrangements.
