    Medical Evaluation Questionnaire. Fit testing. Training. Demonstration of proficiency.

  • 6General Order 08-17

    The initial training shall ensure that the member is thoroughly familiar with the respirator and has experience in using it in a non-hazardous environment. The initial training shall address:

    Why the respirator is necessary and how improper fit, use, or maintenance can compromise its protection.

    Capabilities and limitations of the respirator. Inspection, donning, doffing, seal checking, and normal use of

    the respirator. Emergency procedures, including situations that involve

    malfunction of the respirator, maintenance, and storage procedures.

    Recognition of medical signs and symptoms that may limit or prevent effective use of the respirator.

    The general requirements of 29 CFR 1910.134, Respiratory Protection.

  • 7General Order 08-17

    Each member shall demonstrate proficiency in the proper procedures for:

    User inspection of the respirator. Donning the respirator, including the seal check. Confident use of the respirator. Emergency procedures. Doffing, cleaning, and maintenance.

  • 8General Order 08-17

    Training Policy Members must qualify annually to use respirators.

    Qualification requires: Annual refresher training within 60 days of scheduled fit

    testing. Fit testing. Demonstration of proficiency. Annual medical clearance utilizing an OSHA Respiratory

    Inspecting the SCBA and Facepiece

    SCBA must be properly serviced and prepared for the next use each time it is used.

    Air cylinder must be changed or refilled. Face piece and regulator must be sanitized

    according to the manufacturers instructions. Unit must be cleaned, inspected, and checked for

    proper operation.

  • 29

    It is the users responsibility to ensure that the SCBA is in ready condition before it is returned to the fire apparatus.

    The daily inspection procedure should be used when restoring a unit to service after it has been used.

  • 30

    If an SCBA inspection reveals any problems that cannot be remedied by routine maintenance, the SCBA must be removed from service for repair.

    Only properly trained and certified personnel are authorized to repair SCBA.

  • 82

    Emergency Procedures

    Facepiece Failure This can occur when the facepiece cracks or breaks,

    where you loose the seal, during operations that allows continuous airflow out of the mask.

    This will waste the air in your SCBA.

  • 83

    Emergency Procedures

    Facepiece Failure Procedure for Facepiece Failure

    Call Mayday and follow the Mayday Procedures. Attempt to cover the possible crack or break in the facepiece. Reset the Air Saver Switch or the Don/Doff Switch to stop the air

    rushing out of the mask. If needed, use the Purge Valve.

  • 84

    Emergency Procedures

    Out of Air Your first indication of low air is your Viberalert Alarm. It

    alarms at 1125 psi or 25% of air left in the cylinder. You still have 2 to 5 minutes of air left.

    Do Not Panic!Never Rip Your Facepiece Off!

  • 85

    Emergency Procedures

    Out of Air Procedure for Out of Air

    Call Mayday and follow the Mayday Procedures. If you run out of air, you have two options.

    1. Use buddy breath connection (EBSS) with your partner and get out.

    2. Just Pull the mask slightly off your face to relieve the collapsing face piece and get out! Get as low to the ground as possible so you can

    breath and the hood that is surrounding the face piece will filter the smoke that you breath in.

  • 86

    Emergency Procedures

    Conserving Air During emergency operations, you will be using the air

    in your SCBA. When you use about 75% (1/4 tank or about 1125 psi) of your air supply, your regulator will start vibrating to notify you your air supply is getting low.

    When this happens, you will need to start evacuating yourself/team out of the area.

  • 87

    Emergency Procedures

    Conserving Air Procedures

    Reset the Air Saver Switch or the Don/Doff Switch Call Mayday and follow the Mayday Procedures. Slowly open and close the purge valve to allow air flow to

    the facepiece. Take a deep breath of air and hold your breath for 5 seconds.

    Repeat the process until you are out of the building/IDLH environment.

  • 88

    Emergency Procedures

    Emergency Breathing Support System (EBSS) SCBAs are equipped with the EBSS. It is located next to the

    remote gauge/PASS device. If you are working during an incident and you find a firefighter

    down and the SCBA is empty, you can quickly connect their regulator to your SCBA. It basically allows two people to use the air off of one pack at the same time for emergency evacuation purposes only.

  • 89

    Emergency Procedures

    Procedure for Using the EBSS

    Both fire fighters shall be in close proximity.

    Unsnap the EBSS airline Hold Down Strap and remove the dust cap.

  • 90

    Emergency Procedures

    Procedure for Using the EBSS

    Disconnect the low-pressure regulator hose at the quick-connect of the empty pack and quickly re-connect it to the pack with air. The HUD will not work on the 2nd fire fighter, it does not have a HUD connector on the EBSS line.
