Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Standard Operating Procedure
- Purpose: To outline the use, maintenance, fit testing, and daily inspection procedures for Scott SCBA's.
- Compliance: SCBA's compliant with NFPA 1981 and 1982 standards. Specifically 2013 standards and model X-3's.
- SCBA Features: Positive-pressure, 45-minute carbon fiber cylinder, Heads-up Display (HUD), integrated personal alert safety system (PASS), mask-mounted regulator, and emergency breathing support system (EBSS).
- Use in Hazardous Conditions: SCBA required in immediate danger to life or health (IDLH) atmospheres or oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
- Air Quality Testing: Compressors' air quality tested four times per year, following NFPA 1989 standards. Air must meet NFPA and ANSI standards for Air Type 1-Grade D.
- Carbon Monoxide Limits: Carbon monoxide levels must be below 10 ppm before exiting the hazardous environment.
- Documentation: Daily inspections logged in PSTrax.
- Inspection Schedule: (1) Immediately upon beginning shifts/days; (2) After each use; and (3) After cleaning and sanitizing.
- Equipment Included: Includes Scott AV3000HT facepiece, Scott regulator, and Epic 3 Voice Amp, when applicable.
- Damages: Report malfunctioning equipment, missing equipment, or damages to the appropriate Lieutenant and use the Damaged/Missing Equipment Form (CFR-003).
- SCBA Procedures: Personnel responsible for SCBA management include donning, doffing, emergency procedures, daily checks, cleaning, marking, maintenance and fit testing.
- Equipment storage: Spare SCBA's stored at the Logistics Bureau, requiring signature for personnel borrowing.
- Fit Testing: Annual qualitative or quantitative fit test required for all personnel expected to use SCBA. These tests are to be done in January or February each year.
- SCBA Training Requirements: Annual SCBA training program administered by the Training Bureau.
- Cylinder Inspections: Cylinder hydrostatic test date should be within 5 years plus regular pressure checks and condition inspections. Low pressure or structural damage requires cylinder removal from service.
- SCBA Maintenance: Proper maintenance, cleaning, and repair by a certified SCBA technician.
