NFPA 1001 Firefighter Personal Protective Equipment
Firefighter clothing employs two strategies for protecting fire fighters from heat. First, it uses air to insulate the body. Air does not conduct heat as effectively as solid materials so it provides an extra buffer of protection between your body and the clothing. Second, clothing is made of heat-resistant materials. The material is specially selected and treated to be able to absorb a substantial amount of heat without burning.
Wearing the right protective equipment can make the difference between life and death. For this reason it is imperative that fire fighters regularly receive refresher training on PPE.
This course reviews the various types of PPE available to fire department personnel as well as their uses, limitations, and regulatory compliance. The course is not intended to substitute for hands-on training with PPE. Such training must be offered by the department in order to fully comply with OSHA.
