This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to operate and maintain breathing apparatus and equipment in an irrespirable atmosphere, as defined by the Australian Standard AS/NZS 1715:2009 Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment. This unit of competency applies to operators who are required to wear breathing apparatus because they are working
- in a confined space
- with hazardous gases/vapours
- in an oxygen deficient atmosphere
- in other situations, requiring the wearing of breathing apparatus.
Operators may also be required to wear breathing apparatus in emergency situations; however, this is not the prime focus of this unit.
