Self Contained Breathing Apparatus
This programme is designed for employees who may be required, as
part of their working practice, to use Respiratory Protection and
where this can only be met by wearing a Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus set. We will provide an understanding in the safe use of
Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), together with BA control
procedures, so that they will have an understanding of all
aspects.
They will be trained on the correct procedure for donning the
apparatus and entering a hazardous environment to carry out a
specific task. We will cover safe working practices and search and
rescue procedures to allow effective operation in an irrespirable
atmosphere.
At the conclusion of this course, delegates will be able to
select, don and operate SCBA equipment; and conduct search and
rescue procedures safely.
Employers are required by law to ensure that suitable training
for the use of SCBA is provided before first use to all existing
and new personnel. Refresher training should be provided at
suitable intervals.
