Study Notes
Respiratory Protection Equipment and Maintenance Procedures
-
Supervisors are responsible for ensuring subordinates comply with respiratory protection requirements, including training, fit testing, and monitoring work areas for inhalation hazards.
-
Employees must wear issued respiratory protection and inform supervisors of any challenges with equipment.
-
FRD personnel using respirators must undergo a medical examination and respiratory clearance assessment.
-
Fit testing is required annually and before respiratory protection use or if physical changes affect fit.
-
Respirator use is required during incidents with potential respiratory exposure and daily inspection and cleaning of equipment is necessary.
-
The overhaul phase after fire extinguishment requires continued use of SCBA until the area is no longer an IDLH. Respiratory protection may be downgraded during further overhaul phases.
-
Maintenance and repairs of respiratory equipment must be completed by factory-trained technicians.
-
Annual inspection and testing of SCBA Air-Paks are required and any malfunctioning equipment must be sent to the air shop for evaluation and testing.
-
Breathing air compressors must be tested and maintained according to regulations and only trained personnel can fill SCBA cylinders.
-
Steel cylinders storing breathing air must be replaced semi-annually and purged on the first day of each month.
-
Appropriate PPE, caution, and safety measures must be taken during compressed air operations and when working on elevated surfaces.
-
All FRD-provided respiratory equipment must be stored in issued storage bags and SCBA units must be stored on the apparatus in the proper configuration.Respiratory Protection Program Documentation and Recordkeeping Guidelines
-
The Respiratory Protection Program requires continuous evaluation and enhancement based on end user feedback.
-
Medical evaluation records related to the use of respirators are maintained in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1020.
-
Each SCBA requires an inspection record, and all field inspections, cleaning, and disinfecting must be recorded on the fire station's SCBA Field Inspection Record.
-
The fire station copy of the FRD-036 must be retained for one year and then discarded, while the air shop maintains all records of assignment, repair, and replacement of SCBA, cylinders, hydrostatic test dates, etc.
-
Fire station commanders are responsible for ensuring that each inspection record corresponds to the breathing apparatus carried on respective apparatus.
-
The department maintains a record of each fit factor result per 29 CFR 1910.1027, Appendix C I A 12 (Cadmium Standard), and the fit test record must be maintained until the next fit test is administered.
-
Fit test records are maintained by the PSOHC.
-
Maintenance records for necessary repairs and calibrations of each Portacount Plus© instrument must be kept by the air shop.
-
