Emergency Oxygen Programs for Workplaces in BC & Alberta

Since 1978, SOS has helped Canadian workplaces improve emergency preparedness with practical equipment, training and ongoing service. Whether you need a single workplace oxygen unit or a comprehensive Emergency Oxygen and OHS program, our team can develop a solution around your workplace, workforce and emergency response needs.

Every workplace is unique, which is why SOS Emergency Response Technologies designs customized Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) programs tailored to your organization’s specific risks, industry, and regulatory requirements.

Our comprehensive SOS Emergency Oxygen & OHS Service Programs can be customized to include emergency oxygen equipment, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), first aid supplies, workplace first aid training, and a wide range of Occupational Health & Safety education. We work with you to build a program that not only meets WorkSafeBC requirements but also helps create a safer, more prepared workplace. Whether you require a complete health and safety solution or support for specific areas of your emergency preparedness program, SOS can be your trusted workplace safety partner.

A workplace Emergency Oxygen Program combines emergency oxygen equipment with the training, inspection, maintenance and ongoing support needed to keep the equipment ready for use during a medical emergency.

Rather than simply purchasing an oxygen unit and leaving the workplace responsible for managing it, a managed program helps organizations maintain their emergency oxygen equipment and prepare designated personnel to respond appropriately.

SOS programs can be customized based on workplace size, location, hazards, existing first aid resources and emergency response requirements.

An SOS Emergency Oxygen Program Can Include:

• Emergency oxygen equipment
•  Oxygen unit installation and setup
• Emergency oxygen training
• Routine equipment inspections
• Oxygen refills
• Equipment servicing and maintenance
• Hydrostatic testing when required
• Replacement or repair of applicable components
• First aid and emergency preparedness assessments
• AED equipment and maintenance
• First aid supplies and restocking
• Workplace emergency response training
• OHS training and consultation

Emergency oxygen may form part of a workplace’s emergency response equipment depending on the workplace, applicable regulations, first aid assessment and level of first aid service required.

SOS helps organizations determine how emergency oxygen can fit into a broader workplace first aid and emergency preparedness program

Emergency equipment needs to be accessible, maintained and straightforward for appropriately trained personnel to use.

The SOS Emergency Response Oxygen Unit is designed as a portable workplace emergency oxygen solution with simple operation and a durable configuration suitable for workplace emergency preparedness programs.

SOS Emergency Oxygen Unit Features

• Simple on/off operation
• Portable design
• Pre-set oxygen flow configuration
• Two-stage regulator
• Impact-resistant carrying case options
• Oxygen delivery equipment
• Adjustable-flow options available
• Professional servicing and maintenance support

Emergency oxygen equipment should not be treated as a purchase-and-forget safety product. A workplace program should include procedures for inspecting, maintaining and servicing equipment so it is ready when needed.

SOS provides ongoing Emergency Oxygen service and maintenance to help organizations manage their workplace oxygen equipment without having to coordinate multiple suppliers.

Emergency Oxygen Maintenance Services

Annual inspections
Scheduled inspections help identify equipment requiring attention.

Oxygen refills

Repairs and replacement components

Having emergency oxygen equipment is only one part of workplace preparedness. Employees who may be expected to use the equipment should understand its operation and follow appropriate training, workplace procedures and manufacturer instructions.

SOS provides Emergency Oxygen Training designed to help employees recognize situations where supplemental oxygen may be appropriate and understand how to operate their workplace oxygen equipment.

Training Can Be Combined With:

• First Aid Training
• CPR Training
• AED Training
• Workplace First Aid Drills
• Emergency Response Training
• OHS Training
• Workplace Emergency Preparedness Training

Emergency oxygen can be integrated into a broader SOS workplace emergency preparedness program. This allows organizations to coordinate multiple safety services through one provider rather than managing equipment, inspections, supplies and training separately.
