Wishing all our clients a wonderful Festive Season and a prosperous New Year!
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive method that consists of supplying oxygen at high concentrations in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber at a minimum of 1.3 ATM atmospheres (higher than the normal ambient atmospheric pressure of 1 atmosphere). Inside the chamber you breathe close to 100% oxygen which is transported to the blood and manages to reach even the damaged cells. What are the benets of oxygen therapy? Oxygen therapy can be extremely benecial for those who frequently experience low oxygen levels, regardless of the reason. If needed, regularly utilizing oxygen therapy can allow people to be more active and mobile by decreasing shortness of breath. It also can signicantly improve quality of life, and in many cases extend life expectancy. Reported benets of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Athlete benets | Injury and recovery | Pain management | Chronic pain

Providing you with a one-stop, reliable solution for all your fire & safety needs
do your hose reels and fire extinguishers have a service label on them? If you’ve bought them from a store or your builder provided them, they still need to be commissioned by a registered fire company to make sure they’re in good working order. this is also important for insurance purposes. make sure the pressure gauge is in the green otherwise it will not work when needed!
If your fire extinguishers need their annual service, they can be dropped off at Meikels in tarragona road. alternatively Home services can be arranged. Contact Bay Fire Safety Solutions on 041 079 0102 or cindy@bayfiress.com www.bayfiresafetysolutions.com
