NFPA Latest Update with Certified Solutions

NFPA Latest Update with Certified Solutions NFPA 1971 (PPE, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting) Protects fire fighting personnel by establishing minimum levels of protection from thermal, physical, environmental, and blood borne pathogen hazards encountered during structural and proximity fire fighting operations. NFPA 1500 (Occupational Safety) The Standard includes safety requirements for members involved in rescue, fire suppression, emergency medical services, hazardous materials operations, special operations, and related activities. Protocols cover fire fighter training, apparatus, protective clothing and equipment, medical and physical requirements, and health and wellness programs. NFPA 1981 (SCBA) Requirements cover certification, labeling, design requirements, performance requirements, and test methods and apply to all open-circuit SCBA and combination SCBA/SARs used during fire fighting, rescue, hazardous materials, terrorist incidents, and similar operations where responders may encounter confined spaces, atmospheres that are unknown, atmospheres that are or could become Immediate Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH), or atmospheres that are or could become oxygen deficient NFPA 1982 (PASS) Provisions cover design, performance, testing, and certification of PASS that monitor an emergency responder's motion and automatically emit an audible signal to summon aid in the event the user becomes incapacitated or needs assistance. In addition to addressing corrosion, heat, flame, impact, and vibration resistance specific topics include criteria for mode selection and motion sensing, radio system tests, and signal frequency tests. NFPA 1975 ( Non-primary Uniform Flame Resistances) Provisions apply to design, performance, testing and certification of non-primary protective work apparel and the individual garments comprising work apparel. In addition, this document specifies criteria for thermally stable textiles that will not rapidly deteriorate, melt, shrink, or adhere to the wearer's skin, and also provides optional requirements and tests to verify flame resistance, odor resistance, water resistance, and insect repellency NFPA 1961 (Fire Hose) Requirements apply to attack hose, supply hose, occupant use hose, forestry hose, and suction hose. Types of tests include kink, burst, adhesion, ozone resistance, cold bending, and flexibility and compressibility NFPA 1962 (Care and Maintenance of Fire Hose) Provisions cover the care, use, inspection, service testing, and replacement of fire hose, fire hose couplings, fire-fighting nozzles, and fire hose appliances, and the associated record-keeping. Specific criteria are provided for attack hose, supply hose, and forestry hose; occupant-use hose; booster hose; and suction hose. NFPA 1963 (Couplings and Threads on Fire Hoses) General coupling assemblies and adapter requirements include criteria for minimum waterway, internal strength, connect/disconnect capability, vacuum tightness, corrosion resistance, and high- and low-temperature performance. NFPA 1963 also contains provisions for screw-thread connections, non-threaded connections, and fire hose nozzle gaskets and gasket seats NFPA 1404 (Standard for Fire Service Respiratory Protection
