The British Academy for Training and Development offers this training program in “Troubleshooting and Maintenance of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chambers (HBOT)”, designed to develop the technical knowledge required for maintaining hyperbaric chamber systems and identifying common operational faults.

The program covers chamber components, pressure systems, oxygen delivery equipment, electrical and control systems, safety devices, and monitoring instruments. Participants will examine preventive maintenance requirements, inspection procedures, fault identification, troubleshooting methods, and maintenance documentation. Particular attention is given to pressure integrity, oxygen-related hazards, alarms, ventilation, emergency systems, and equipment reliability. The program also addresses maintenance planning, manufacturer requirements, regulatory considerations, and coordination between technical and clinical personnel. The content supports safe equipment operation, timely fault response, and systematic maintenance practices within healthcare facilities that operate hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers.

Who Should Attend?

• Biomedical engineers and technicians responsible for HBOT equipment maintenance.

• Maintenance engineers and technical staff working with hyperbaric chamber systems.

• Healthcare facility personnel involved in HBOT equipment safety and operations.

• Service engineers and technical supervisors responsible for inspection and equipment reliability.
