Any organisation that has breathing apparatus is required to properly maintain that equipment in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Most major manufacturers of breathing apparatus require their equipment to be inspected/serviced every 12 months, with a major service every six years. We are able to provide a 48 hour turn around service of the more popular brands of breathing apparatus. They are:
- Scott Safety/MSA Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
- SSR Self Rescuers (SSR)- closed circuit system
- Emergency Life Support Apparatus (ELSA) – compressed air escape set
- Flite Airline Breathing Apparatus (FLITE Set) – emergency bail out set for airline systems
- High Pressure Cylinders – all sizes, hooped wrapped, carbon fibre or steel
All that needs to occur is for the equipment complete to be delivered to our premises between 8am and 4pm Monday – Friday. and we will then have the service completed within two working days. You may alternatively have the equipment couriered, but please call and advise it is being sent.
- If you need to have your breathing apparatus or cylinders serviced, please fill in SST A-0001 Calibration & Service Request and return with the unit. Thanks

Also remember your staff need to be trained and deemed competent in the use of breathing apparatus, course details click here. If your staff have been trained previously, remember you need to maintain their currency of training, by having them retrained periodically. We suggest every 2 years, considering your staff would very rarely use the breathing apparatus, so their skill level is quickly lost.
