OVERVIEW
Does your department have an effective PPE inspection program in place? Improper care and maintenance of PPE can decrease its effectiveness and lead to increased risk of exposure for firefighters in the fireground. The NFPA 1851 standard was established to help protect personnel and reduce health and safety risks by emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and decontamination of PPE.
Join Vector Solutions' Robbi King to see how you can enforce comprehensive PPE checks through Vector Solutions’ mobile asset management system, Vector Check It, to ensure equipment is properly inspected, cleaned, and functioning properly to increase personnel safety and ensure compliance.
