SCBA

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a breathing apparatus designed to provide air to the user so that the user can breathe independently.

SCBA is used by:
- Firefighters
- Rescue Officer
- Emergency Response Team
- People who work in dangerous environments: Environments filled with thick smoke or toxic/hazardous gases
- Companies that store chemicals on-site that could create hazardous situations

SCBA consists of:
- Area to store air
- Pressure regulator that ensures air flows at a safe and consistent speed, so users don't run out of air too quickly
- Respiratory equipment: Mouthpiece and mask

Different types of SCBA:
- The SCBA that is used as a rebreather that filters, adds, and recirculates exhaled air
- The SCBA that provides fresh air every time the user breathes
- The SCBA that provides air stably

To use SCBA properly, the users should have knowledge about:
- When it will be required
- Components of SCBA
- Safe working practices and controls while using SCBA
- Correct testing and maintenance of the SCBA
- Breathing principles
- Hazardous gas
- Specific protective gear needed for different chemicals
- Associated risks of chemical reactivity and health hazards

Helicopter Load Master




The Helicopter Load Master (HLM) plays an important role in ensuring that the presence of goods will not compromise the safety of the Helicopter.

Some work done by HLM:
- Plan load placement by considering weight distribution and balance
- Supervise loading and unloading of cargo
- Arrange the placement of cargo in the helicopter to maintain balance and safety during the flight
- Ensure all items are placed in the right place
- Prevent overloading sensitive parts of the fuselage and cargo floor by strategically placing cargo
- Calculate the optimal center of gravity for the helicopter and ensure it remains within permissible limits throughout the journey
- Ensure that the weight of cargo does not interfere with the helicopter and its flight: The helicopter must not become tilted due to overload!

The knowledge must be had:
- Heliport
- Helideck
- Helicopter
- Safety Regulation
- Longline with remote hook
- Hover hook-up
- External Load Mission and Arrangement
- Equipment
- Dangerous goods
- Communication with Helicopter Pilot
