WARNING EEBDs must not be used for firefighting purposes. WARNING Remember, when donning the EEBD, if you don’t hear the hissing sound of oxygen being generated, discard the unit and get another. DANGER Don’t  smoke  immediately  after  using  the EEBD  because  your  hair  is  saturated  with oxygen and could catch on fire. SUPPLEMENTAL EMERGENCY EGRESS DEVICE (SEED) Personnel  working  in  engineering  spaces  wear supplemental  emergency  egress  devices  (SEEDs)  on their belts for easy access. When a main space fire is called  away,  the  watch  stander  should  use  the  SEED (fig. 12-4) to proceed to an EEBD. The watch stander should obtain an EEBD and don it when not in danger of immediate harm from heat or flames. Because the SEED lacks protection for the eyes and nose and has a short  operational  time,  it  is  a  supplemental  device. However,   it   is   immediately   available   for   the engineering watch standers and is easily operated on the run. Factors to consider when using these devices include the following: 12-15 Student Notes: Figure 12-4.—Supplemental emergency egress device (SEED).
