BA Technicians up to date
Our four breathing apparatus (BA) technicians were all re-certified following an intensive two day course run on out site by Kevin McCoomb from Scott Safety, Australia. They also completed cylinder valve servicing and testing. This training is required every three years to ensure the guys are up to date with aspects of maintaining and servicing BA sets and cylinders. We sell and service a number of sets. For details, check out our sales page.
We have power…
The boys have been testing out a powered ascender – easy to operate and comes with a remote control. They loved it. See them in action on our Facebook page.
