Before entering a confined space, your breathing apparatus must be checked every time.
In this clip, we walk through a pre-use check for a breathing apparatus set, carried out immediately before entry into a risk area. From face seal checks and cylinder pressure to positive pressure and airflow testing, these steps confirm your BA is ready when you need it most.
Miss a step and you risk entering with faulty protection.

Real safety improvements happen when the system is designed properly.
Our consultancy services guide you through the process end to end:
From identifying gaps, to planning access and rescue, selecting the right equipment, delivering training, and providing ongoing support once everything is in place.
We don’t hand you a document and walk away.
We help you build something that actually works on site.
The best rescue is always the one we never have to perform, but when things do go wrong, teams need options.
What type of rescue does your plan rely on?
When we design rescue plans, we need to consider the different types of rescue that may be required depending on the task, environment and casualty condition.
This short clip gives a quick overview of the different rescue types teams should think about when developing their rescue arrangements.
It’s part of our new Rescue Specialist video series, designed to help teams understand and brief their rescue plans more effectively.
Work positioning on vertical structures isn’t about hanging on it’s about control.
In this clip, we show how to move from a ladder onto a vertical structure using an adjustable work positioning lanyard, while maintaining a backup fall arrest system at all times.
Key principles covered:
- Always using a backup system when body weight is on the lanyard
- Wrapping the lanyard to create grip and stability
- Adjusting the protective sleeve and lanyard length
- Positioning your body to reduce strain and twisting
Good work positioning allows you to stay comfortable, stable, and focused on the task, without fighting the system.

Safe work positioning starts before the work begins.
In this clip, a REAX instructor demonstrates how to climb and transition into a work position using a fall arrest system, maintaining continuous protection and minimising fall risk at every stage.
Key points covered:
- Using fall arrest to access the position
- Always keeping one hook connected
- Managing fall distance and fall factor
- Correct use and adjustment of a work positioning lanyard
- Safe transition back to descent
These fundamentals are critical for safe, efficient work at height, especially when positioning is required to carry out tasks.
Choosing a safety helmet isn’t always straightforward, especially when multiple models meet different standards, accept different accessories, and suit different use cases.
Kask is the leading specialist in 360 head protection, incorporating a blend of EN standards into their products for rotational impact performance with modular functionality across a wide range of accessories available for helmet configurations.
This short series will provide an insight into the three core KASK helmet ranges:
● Superplasma:
Kask’s lightweight mountaineering & climbing helmet scalable protection from standard industrial to high-performance environments
● Primero:
Hybrid model with advanced comfort and head protection features
● Zenith:
Premium comfort and head protection features.
More posts coming soon, with dedicated breakdowns of each range, keep following.
We’ve just released a new series of Rescue Specialist videos alongside our new Rescue Check Cards.
These videos alongside the check cards are intended to support your teams as an on-site reference for briefings, toolbox talks and rescue discussions.
Too often, rescue planning stops at:
➡️ “We’ll call the emergency services”
But in reality, teams must be able to:
- Rescue their own personnel
- Do so quickly and safely
- Protect rescuers as well as casualties
- Operate with confidence under pressure
Our new rescue playlist focuses on the practical elements of rescue.
They don’t replace training or rescue planning but they do help teams understand and work through their rescue arrangements when it matters most.
