10118419 — MSA PremAire Cadet Escape Breathing Apparatus 10 Min
The MSA PremAire Cadet Escape Breathing Apparatus (EEBA) is a self-contained compressed-air escape device providing 10 minutes of breathable air for industrial workers making an emergency egress from an immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) atmosphere. Unlike a full SCBA, the PremAire Cadet is designed exclusively for escape — it is not an entry device — meaning it can be worn by all process, operations, and maintenance personnel who are required to carry personal escape breathing apparatus as part of their job-specific PPE under ARAMCO confined space and IDLH entry procedures.
The PremAire Cadet uses a 2-litre carbon fibre composite cylinder rated at 200 bar, providing approximately 10 minutes of breathable air supply at moderate exertion (escape walking pace). The demand valve and mouthpiece assembly are housed in a quick-donning carrier that allows the unit to be donned and delivering air to the user in under 5 seconds — the critical performance metric for an escape device where seconds of delay translate directly into hypoxia risk when hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide, or hydrocarbon concentrations incapacitate a worker. The unit is certified to EN 402 (Lung-governed demand self-contained open circuit escape apparatus with full face mask) and carries IECEx certification for use in explosive atmospheres, covering its use in all ATEX Zone 1/2 areas of ARAMCO's gas and oil processing plants.
Saudi Aramco HSE procedures under GI-0002.100 and SA-AGES-0002 require that all personnel entering confined spaces with potential IDLH atmospheres carry an approved escape breathing device. The PremAire Cadet is among the MSA SCBA and EEBA products accepted under ARAMCO's approved equipment register. SABIC's process areas at Al-Jubail and Yanbu plants issue PremAire Cadet units to operations and maintenance technicians working in areas where H₂S or toxic gas release could block egress routes before evacuation to fresh air is possible. Saudi Civil Defence training programmes for industrial hazmat awareness courses include PremAire Cadet demonstration as part of the EEBA training module, given its prevalence in the industrial sector.
Razz Middle East maintains local stock of PremAire Cadet units, replacement cylinders, and annual cylinder hydrostatic test services through approved testing facilities. We supply in quantities from individual units for small maintenance teams to bulk orders for large EPC contractor safety departments equipping 200+ personnel for confined space work campaigns at ARAMCO and SABIC facilities.

Key Features & Benefits
- Under-5-second donning time from carrier to air delivery is the critical performance specification for escape devices where delayed response to H₂S or CO atmosphere onset causes rapid incapacitation before conventional SCBA donning is possible.
- EN 402 and IECEx dual certification enables deployment in ATEX Zone 1/2 classified areas of ARAMCO and SABIC process plants without area classification exemptions or additional risk assessment.
- 2-litre 200 bar carbon fibre composite cylinder provides 10 minutes of compressed air supply at moderate exertion, sufficient for egress from most industrial confined space and process area IDLH scenarios.
- Full-face mask design provides both respiratory protection and eye protection from irritant gas atmospheres during escape, unlike mouthpiece-only designs that leave eyes exposed to chemical irritants.
- Compact carry pouch worn on the hip or belt allows operations and maintenance personnel to carry the EEBA throughout their shift without impeding manual work tasks, increasing compliance with mandatory personal carry requirements.
- Annual cylinder hydrostatic test requirement supported by MSA-approved testing facilities in Saudi Arabia, ensuring ongoing fleet compliance with compressed gas cylinder inspection regulations.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Mandatory personal carry EEBA for all personnel entering IDLH-potential confined spaces at Saudi Aramco facilities under GI-0002.100, where 10-minute escape air provides egress time from process vessel, column, and tank entry points.
- Operations and maintenance technicians at SABIC Jubail and Yanbu process plants working in areas with H₂S risk, where rapid gas release can block escape routes before conventional self-rescue breathing devices can be donned.
- Offshore platform and marine terminal personnel at Saudi Aramco's offshore and nearshore operations, where EEBA is required in machinery spaces and enclosed process areas below deck as part of offshore escape equipment inventories.
- Utility tunnel and underground infrastructure maintenance workers at NEOM and other major construction projects, where confined underground spaces create IDLH risk from CO accumulation in areas served by diesel equipment.
- Personnel working in telephone exchanges, battery rooms, and enclosed electrical substations at ARAMCO and SEC facilities, where CO or hydrogen gas accumulation from lead-acid battery charging creates IDLH-potential atmospheres.
