CABA Servicing and Decontamination
Keeping your workforce safe from toxic contaminants
Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus (CABA) is often the last line of defense for workers entering toxic, oxygen-deficient, or confined environments. But like all life-saving equipment, it must be regularly serviced and decontaminated to ensure peak performance when lives are on the line. Poorly maintained or contaminated breathing gear not only fails regulatory compliance — it endangers lives.
Zokal has been servicing high-risk breathing apparatus systems for over 35 years, trusted by Australia’s mining, emergency response, and industrial sectors. We provide full inspection, cleaning, decontamination, and pressure testing of all CABA units in accordance with AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Whether you're protecting a confined space entry team or a full emergency response crew, Zokal ensures your breathing gear is clean, certified, and ready for deployment.

Before CABA Cleaning

After CABA Cleaning

Why Clean CABA Is Critical to Worker Safety
Bacterial and fungal contaminants can grow inside poorly cleaned breathing apparatus — posing serious respiratory risks. Residues from hydrocarbons, dust, and airborne chemicals can also degrade seals, block valves, or compromise filtration performance. Post-COVID, there's heightened scrutiny on ensuring shared safety equipment is properly sanitised before reuse.
Australian Standard AS/NZS 1715 outlines the need for regular inspection, cleaning, and function testing of respiratory protective equipment. Cylinders must also undergo hydrostatic pressure testing at manufacturer-specified intervals — usually every 5 years, or sooner if damage is suspected.
Zokal’s dedicated servicing facility uses advanced cleaning equipment and service protocols to restore CABA gear to safe operational condition — and ensure your team breathes clean air in every emergency.
