About this Course

An SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) respirator is a type of respiratory protective device worn by individuals working in environments where the air is contaminated with harmful substances or where oxygen levels are insufficient to support breathing without assistance.

SCBA respirators provide the wearer with a supply of breathable air contained in a tank worn on the back, allowing them to work safely in hazardous atmospheres. The proper training ensures that individuals understand how to properly use, maintain, and wear SCBA respirators, and how to recognize potential hazards and respond effectively in emergency situations.

By taking our SCBA Respirators Training, participants can mitigate risks, protect themselves from harmful airborne contaminants, and ensure their safety and the safety of others in hazardous environments. This program is crucial for companies with emergency response teams or those that store hazardous chemicals on site.

This course covers equipment inspection, safe operating procedures, and rescue techniques. It includes practice quiz questions for the final exam and a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required by OSHA.

What Is SCBA Training?

Respiratory hazards pose a significant threat to workers, requiring them to wear specialized protective equipment. The Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) training provides a practical course on how to properly wear and operate PPE, a crucial tool for emergency response teams and companies storing hazardous chemicals. It teaches employees how to properly put on and operate PPE, ensuring their safety and health in hazardous environments.

What are SCBAs?

SCBAs are air-supply respirators. Air-supplying respirators use clean air from an external reserve tank to provide a consistent, healthy supply of oxygen to the user, rather than filtering the air from the surrounding environment. The most effective method of protecting users from airborne pollutants and hazardous substances is using facepieces, which form a tight seal around the wearer's face.
