Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS) make it possible for emergency responders to signal for help if they get lost, disoriented, trapped, injured, or run out of breathing air while operating at an emergency.
Provisions in NFPA 1982: Standard on Personal Alert Safety Systems address labeling, design, performance, testing, and certification for PASS that monitor an emergency responder's motion and automatically emit an audible alarm if the responder becomes incapacitated -- allowing the PASS to be manually activated if assistance is needed.
Significant updates in the 2018 edition help departments identify and prioritize critical failures, before tragedies occur.
A new failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for PASS devices helps users identify and prioritize critical failures that could have a serious effect on the safety and reliability of a PASS in the expected operating environment.
