Breathing Apparatus Training SCBA

Sydney Safety Training conducts breathing apparatus training for staff in the workplace who may be exposed to atmospheric hazards.  These respiratory hazards may occur due to atmospheric contaminents or oxygen deficiency. The main concern with this type of hazard is that it may be invisible, it may have no odour or taste giving warning of its presence, or it could attack the sense of smell giving the false sense of security that it has left the environment. Obviously training in gas detection would also be critical.

You can combine this training with gas detection training, which occurs on the same day. Click here for the combined course.

The types of breathing equipment covered in this course to address the above hazards are:

• Filtration – filters and canister type filter respirators
• Compressed Air Escape Equipment – designed for short duration escape
• Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) – compressed air supplied breathing apparatus worn by the user
• Airline Systems – compressed air supplied equipment usually used for long duration work via an air line
• Rebreather – this is a recycled system that eliminates CO2 and adds back O2 designed for long escape

Your breathing apparatus training will have you do the following, plus work in a breathing system. It could be an MSA System or a Scott.

Your training if required will include the use of Airline/Escape System.  Please advise when booking this training if you use airline systems.

• Participants must be able to communicate in English, and must be able to fill out all necessary documentation.
• We can train people where English is an issue, but it needs to be on a specially scheduled programme and YOU WILL NEED TO provide an interpreter.
