Your PPE: What You Should Know
Our most used piece of equipment in the fire service is our personal protective equipment. It is the only equipment that is used at every alarm. Far too many fire fighters do not have the proper knowledge of their PPE. Learn the importance of PPE with case histories of what our PPE cannot do, proving it is not anything "proof." Included is a simplified review of the NFPA standards of PPE garments and the new NFPA 1970; a step-by-step method on how to specify, bid, and place in service PPE; and the proper cleaning and care of PPE.
