Why Is It So Important to Service a (SCBA) Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus?
Self-contained breathing Apparatus devices “SCBA” are lifesaving pieces of equipment that provide clean, breathable air to workers.
This includes firefighters, emergency workers, confined space workers, and miners working in an atmosphere that poses an immediate danger to life or health.
Without regular servicing, there is no certainty that the device will function correctly when required.
If a breathing apparatus device is faulty, inconsistent, or damaged, the equipment could fail in an emergency, leaving a user unable to breathe clean air.
How Often Do I Need to Service SCBA?
Most significant manufacturers of self contained breathing apparatus mandate that equipment be inspected and undergo breathing apparatus servicing every 12 months.
Composite Breathable Air Cylinders require a Hydrostatic Pressure Test every five years.
