Webcast Image Tencate

The most used equipment we don for every alarm is our personal protective equipment (PPE). Too many don’t have knowledge of their PPE. This webcast will cover what our PPE cannot do, proving PPE is not everything proof; a simplified review of the NFPA standards for each type of garment, concentrating on structural; the knowledge needed to understand the PPE system; and a step-by-step method on how to specify, bid, and place in service PPE. We have come to realization that fire is not only danger on the fire scene. Carcinogens present at our alarms place all at great risk. Acceptance that “salty” gear needs to be a thing of the past as well as proper cleaning and care are important. We can reduce our exposure to reduce the ravages caused by cancer in the fire service.
