This document discusses personal protective equipment (PPE) for hazardous materials response. It describes different types of protective clothing including structural firefighting gear, high-temperature suits, and chemical protective clothing. It also covers respiratory protection types and EPA protection levels A-D. The document stresses that no single PPE ensemble protects against all hazards and that climate/health concerns like heat stress must be considered when choosing equipment. Proper training, medical monitoring, and maintenance programs are essential to PPE safety.
This document discusses personal protective equipment (PPE) for first responders. It describes the typical components of PPE including respiratory equipment and protective clothing. Structural fire-fighting clothing provides limited protection from hazardous materials while chemical-protective clothing offers more protection but requires additional training. Positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus is commonly used but has advantages and disadvantages. The appropriate level of PPE depends on the specific hazardous materials incident and risks involved.
Firefighting is inherently dangerous, requiring strict safety protocols during training, on firegrounds, and at emergency scenes. Firefighters must learn safe methods to confront risks and avoid reckless behavior. They should maintain situational awareness, proper use of PPE like SCBA and turnout gear, and good communication using accountability systems. Hydration, diet, and avoiding smoking are also important to reduce health risks on and off the job. Heart attacks are a leading cause of firefighter deaths.
This document summarizes key points from Chapter 2 of a firefighter safety and health textbook. It discusses NFPA 1500 standards which specify minimum requirements for firefighter safety programs. These include policies, training, protective equipment, emergency operations, and health considerations. The leading causes of firefighter injuries are overexertion, slips/trips/falls and improper lifting. Maintaining physical fitness, wearing proper PPE, following safety procedures and participating in wellness programs can help reduce risks to firefighter health and safety.
Promotional examinations originated from the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act which replaced patronage systems with merit-based promotion. A promotional examination is typically a joint effort between a fire department and municipality's human resources section. It may include components like written tests of facts, assessment centers with simulations, and technical skills demonstrations. Candidates should understand the required knowledge, skills, and abilities for the position and develop a personalized study plan that may involve keeping a journal, practicing role-playing scenarios, and preparing presentations. Successful completion of an examination results in placement on an eligibility list for promotion consideration.

hazardous substance, or the performance limits of the cartridge
or canister, then employers must set the maximum MUC at that
lower limit
13. Maximum Use Concentration
Example
What is the MUC for an employee wearing a half-
mask air purifying respirator (APF=10) in an
atmosphere of sulfur dioxide gas (PEL=5 ppm)?
MUC = APF x OSHA Exposure Limit
MUC = 10 x 5 ppm = 50 ppm
Note that this calculated value does not exceed
the IDLH level for sulfur dioxide (100 ppm), so that
the MUC for this example would be 50 ppm.
14. Selection of Respirators (d)
(3) Respirators for atmospheres that are not
IDLH
– (ii) (3) The respirator selected shall be appropriate for
the chemical state and physical form of the
contaminant.
15. Selection of Respirators (d)
(3) Respirators for atmospheres that are not
IDLH
– (iii) For protection against gases and vapors, the
employer shall provide:
(B) An air purifying respirator
– (1) Provided that the respirator is equipped with an end of
service life indicator (ELSI) certified by NIOSH for the
contaminant
– (2) If there is no ELSI appropriate for workplace conditions, the
employer implements a change schedule for canisters and
cartridges that will ensure they are changed before the end of
their service life.
16. Selection of Respirators (d)
(3) Respirators for atmospheres that are not
IDLH
– (iv) For protection against particulates the employer
shall provide
An air purifying respirator equipped with a HEPA filter
certified by NIOSH under 30 CFR Part II or with filters
certified for particulates under 42 CFR Part 84(N,R,P) or
An air purifying respirator equipped with any filter certified for
particulates by NIOSH for contaminants consisting primarily
of particles of at least 2 micrometers.

18. Medical Evaluation (e)
(1) General. The employer must provide a
medical evaluation to determine employees
ability to use a respirator before fit testing and
use.
(2) Medical evaluation procedures.
– (i) The employer must identify a physician or other
licensed health care professional (PLHCP) to
perform medical evaluations using a medical
questionnaire or an initial medical evaluation that
obtains the same information.
19. Fit Testing (f)
(1) All employees using a negative or positive pressure tight
fitting facepiece respirator must pass an appropriate
qualitative fit test (QLFT) or quantitative fit test (QNFT).
(2)Fit testing is required prior to initial use, whenever a
different respirator facepiece is used and at least annually
thereafter.
(3) Additional fit test is required when the employee reports,
or the employer, PLHCP, supervisor, or program administrator
makes visual observations of changes in the employees
physical condition that could affect respirator fit ( e.g., facial
scarring, dental changes, cosmetic surgery or change in body
weight).
20. Fit Testing (f)
(5) The fit test shall be administered using an
OSHA-accepted QLFT or QNFT protocol as
contained in mandatory appendix A.
– QLFT Protocols:
Isoamyl acetate
Saccharin
Bitrex
Irritant smoke
– QNFT Protocols:
Generated Aerosol (corn oil, salt, DEHP)
Condensation Nuclei Counter (PortaCount)
Controlled Negative Pressure (Dynatech FitTester 3000)
Controlled Negative Pressure (CNP) REDON
21. Fit Testing (f)
(6) QLFT may only be used to fit negative
pressure air purifying respirators that must
achieve a fit factor or 100 or less.
22. Fit Testing (f)
(7) If the fit factor, as determined through an
OSHA-accepted QNFT protocol is equal to or
greater than 100 for tight fitting half facepieces
or greater than 500 for tight fitting full
facepieces, the QNFT has passed with that
respirator.
23. Fit Factor
A quantitative estimate of the fit of a particular
respirator to a specific individual, and typically
estimates the ratio:
Concentration of a substance in ambient air
Concentration inside the respirator when
worn
24. Use of respirators (g)
(1) Facepiece seal protection
– (i) The employer shall not permit respirators with tight
fitting facepieces to be worn by employees who have:
(A) Facial hair that comes between the sealing surface of the
facepiece and the face or that interferes with valve function.
(B) Personal protective equipment shall be worn in such a
manner that does not interfere with the seal of the facepiece
to the face of the user.
25. Use of Respirators (g)
(iii) Employees shall perform a user seal check
each time they put on a tight-fitting respirator
using the procedures in mandatory Appendix B-
1 or equally effective manufacturer’s
procedures.
26. Maintenance and Care of Respirators (h)
(1) The employer shall ensure that the
respirators are cleaned and disinfected using the
procedures in Appendix B-2 or equally effective
procedures recommended by the respirator
manufacturer.
– (i) Respirators for the exclusive use of an employee shall be cleaned and
disinfected as often as necessary to be maintained in a sanitary condition.
– (ii) Respirators issued to more than one employee shall be cleaned and
disinfected before being worn by different individuals.
– (iii) Emergency use respirators shall be cleaned and disinfected after each
use
– (iv) Respirators used in fit testing and training shall be cleaned and
disinfected after each use
27. Breathing Air Quality and Use (i)
