The Comprehensive Standard for Firefighting PPE and SCBA Safety
NFPA 1850, Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural and Proximity Firefighting and Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), is the must-have resource for the selection, care, and maintenance of protective ensembles for structural and proximity firefighting, as well as open-circuit SCBA.
Perfect for firefighters, personal protective equipment (PPE) managers, fire protection engineers, independent service providers (ISPs), and compliance officers, this newly consolidated standard combines the requirements of NFPA 1851 and NFPA 1852 into a single, comprehensive document, streamlining safety guidelines for emergency responders.
Content covers requirements for:
- Structural and proximity firefighting gear and interface components
- New evaluation procedures for cleaning impacts on protective ensemble materials, revised washing protocols, and wastewater handling requirements
- Alternative cleaning technologies and advanced machine-based cleaning processes
