Railway Safety Equipment

Railroad operators transporting hazardous materials are facing new emergency breathing apparatus requirements under the Federal Railroad Administration’s updated EEBA rule. For covered freight railroad operations, employees in locomotive cabs must have access to atmosphere-supplying emergency escape breathing apparatus designed to support escape from toxic or oxygen-deficient environments.

Carroll Technologies Group supplies railroad safety equipment from leading manufacturers, including the Ocenco M-20.2 Rescuer Breathing Device, gas detection monitors, fall protection, PPE, industrial lighting, fire safety products, lifting equipment, rope and radio communications systems.

With more than 40 years of experience supporting safety-critical industries including mining, tunnelling, construction and rail, Carroll helps operators source reliable equipment for worker protection, emergency preparedness and regulatory readiness.

Ocenco M-20.2 railroad self-rescuer

The Ocenco M-20.2 is a self-contained, closed-circuit emergency escape breathing apparatus designed to protect the user during escape from toxic or oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Ocenco states that the M-20.2 meets the FRA Final Rule requirements for 15-minute Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatuses for locomotive crewmembers.

The carried version of the M-20.2 activates automatically when removed from its clear case. It provides a 15-minute performance duration, has a donning time of less than 10 seconds and uses a clear case so the breathing assembly can be visually inspected quickly.

Carroll Technologies carries the Ocenco M-20.2 Rescuer Breathing Device for railroad operators preparing for the updated FRA EEBA requirements. The product is available through Carroll’s online store and can be supported with expert advice, immediate quotes and same-day shipping.
