SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS –SCBA
A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) safeguards individuals from oxygen deficiency, particulates, gases, and fumes. Training in SCBA usage is mandatory for individuals who might employ this life-preserving gear themselves or supervise its use by others.
Our SCBA training is integrated into our Confined Space Rescue training and equipment orientation modules; nevertheless, it can also be presented independently. Participants will acquire the necessary skills to effectively examine, upkeep, and operate an SCBA.
What You'll Learn
- Identifying potential hazards in different atmospheric conditions
- Assessing risks and selecting the most suitable work approach through the hierarchy of controls
- Examination of SCBA components
- Inspecting an SCBA unit
- Conducting SCBA performance tests
- Proper wearing and utilization of an SCBA. Please note that participants must be clean-shaven during this practical training segment.
- Factors to contemplate when utilizing an SCBA in work or rescue scenarios
- Revisiting the fundamental prerequisites of a respiratory protection program
