Cleveland Fire Department Operations Manual Wearing and Care of SCBA Purpose A. The purpose of this procedure is to assure that all personnel are prepared to perform emergency operations while maintaining the highest degree of personal safety for all personnel. B. To insure that all Fire Department personnel receive the level of protection that their selfcontained breathing apparatus was designed to provide. Objective To insure that all SCBA’s are in proper working condition, that firefighters are trained in their use, and that they are worn under appropriate conditions to avoid any respiratory contact with products of combustion, super heated gases, toxic products, or other hazardous contaminants. Scope This procedure shall apply to all firefighting personnel. Responsibility Each firefighter bears full responsibility for adherence to this procedure. Authority to deviate from this procedure rests with the Company Officer and the Incident Commander, who bear full responsibility for the results of any deviation. It is the joint responsibility of Chief Officers, Battalion Commanders, and Company Officers to see that all personnel comply with this directive. Policy The use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is an essential part of the complete personal protective equipment provided for each member of this Fire Department. As such, all personnel are expected to use SCBA whenever the need for respiratory protection is indicated. It is the policy of the Cleveland Fire Department that personnel are not to be exposed to any hazardous atmosphere without the benefit of SCBA. Instances of exposure shall be promptly and thoroughly investigated by the Safety Officer. The Safety Officer shall make appropriate recommendations to prevent a recurrence, document the incident and submit a report to the Fire Chief. Definitions For the purpose of this procedure the following definitions shall apply: A. Use of SCBA: shall mean the wearing of SCBA with the face piece in place, connected to the regulator, breathing air from the SCBA cylinder, and with the PASS device on. B. Hazardous atmosphere: shall mean any atmosphere that is contaminated with smoke, gases, or other by-products of combustion; or any atmosphere that contains any known contaminants not normally present in clean air. An atmosphere that is oxygen deficient or suspected of being oxygen deficient shall also be considered hazardous.
