Breathing Apparatus/BA Set Course is ideal for individuals or organisations who require the use of self-contained BA SETs (SCBA) in a work environment. Confined space refers to an area with a hazardous atmosphere, limited means for entry and exit, and extended occupancy is dangerous.

This course is for people to use a self-contained breathing apparatus safely and efficiently during regular occupational assignments and emergency operations. The learner will possess the fundamental knowledge and skills to prevent compromised respiratory protection and to exit hazardous areas before air depletion.
