Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Training

---

A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a type of respiratory protection equipment that contains breathable compressed air. It is typically used by those who must perform work in areas of immediate danger to life and health.

It is essential that workers receive SCBA training to eliminate undue stress and breathing difficulties.

Regulations in Ontario dictate many aspects of SCBA use.  Regulations determine under what conditions an SCBA must be worn, the requirements for the breathable air, and the training that must be delivered.
