When was the last time you or someone you know got hurt on the job? Studies show that firefighters sustain about 60,000 injuries annually, and EMS professionals sustain about 23,000 injuries annually from responding to emergency calls. That doesn't include regular injuries sustained at the station or over time. PPE can lessen the impact of these injuries and help you to keep answering the next call for help. This course will address the types of PPE available for fire and EMS professionals, legal requirements from OSHA regulations, and tips for maintaining your equipment and staying "combat ready." NFPA 1971, OSHA 29 CFR 1910, and OSHA 29 CFR 1926 are referenced throughout.
