If there are 10 watchstanders in the engine room, how many EEBDs should there be?

In the engine room, you plan for rapid, redundant access to emergency breathing devices. Each watchstander should have an EEBD available, and you also keep spare units so you can replace or issue another device without delay if one is in use, damaged, or due for inspection. With 10 watchstanders, providing two EEBDs per person gives a total of 20. This setup ensures every individual has immediate access to a device and there are enough spares to cover ongoing use, maintenance, and potential use by others who may need to operate in the area during an emergency.
