- Easily run alongside Face Fit Testing for close fitting RPE or as part of a Total Care Programme for Servicing
VR & AR Training
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality technologies offer immersive, interactive, and safe training environments that simulate confined space scenarios with remarkable realism. In VR training, delegates wear headsets that transport them to virtual environments specific to customers' locations and workforce requirements.

Training Facilities
Training Centres
Breathe Safety have a network of high quality practical facilities alongside classrooms where we run a variety of open courses.
Mobile Training Vehicles
Concept pioneered by Breathe in 2009, the units are designed to bring high quality practical training for confined space and breathing apparatus to your site.

On-Site Training
For high volume and high profile projects we provide bespoke built on-site training facilities, to deliver work ready personnel direct to the worksite. Designed to accurately mirror the client work environment this also allows untrained personnel to experience what the project is like without having to visit a live work area.


- Entry Point Recreation – e.g. vessel platform, tally hut, well head, wet well entry
- True to life crawl ways and tunnels – e.g. service ducts, spray concrete lined, reactor entries, process pipework
- Mechanical and Process pipework and valves – complete with simulation of emergency situations such as leaks and failures, such as flooding or fire
-
Refuge Chambers – for tunnel and mine applications
Working at Height practical – scaffold, vessel rescue and crane rescue integration
- Full Bill of Materials by vessel or area for Safety Equipment
- Fire and Flood scenario recreation/Smoke Generation
- Permit Office
- Fully monitored by IR camera systems with appropriate panic buttons and emergency exit points
- Risk assessed for training and provided with a safe system of work
- Designed to accurately mirror the client work environment this also allows untrained personnel to experience what the project is like without having to visit a live work area
