TEXAS COMMISSION ON FIRE PROTECTION - STANDARDS MANUAL FOR FIRE PROTECTION PERSONNEL CHAPTER 435.3 Breathing Air Is To Be Tested At Least Every Three Months Full Function Test Required Annually As Prescribed By The Manufacturer And NFPA 1852 CYLINDER PRESSURE: Using the digital ICM gauge, verify minimum cylinder pressure is > or = to 4200 psig. BACKFRAME AND HARNESS: check for deteriorated components and proper harness operation. CYLINDER ASSEMBLY: check the cylinder for physical damage, open the cylinder valve fully, alarm should ring briefly, ICM should activate, close cylinder valve, check cylinder, hoses, regulators, and ICM for leaks compare the cylinder gauge to the ICM, pressure should be within +\- 225 psig of each other change out cylinder when pressure gauge indicates less than 4200 psig (ICM digital gauge). ICM\FIREHAWK: Place the ICM in a motionless position for approximately 18 seconds, the ICM will go into full alarm approximately 12 seconds later. Press the Mode button (the green button on the upper left of ICM) once for Illumination Mode and twice for time remaining at current breathing rate (will display 3 dashes). Crack the bypass valve (red knob on Firehawk regulator) slowly to bleed off pressure until the ICM alarm gauge needle drops below 1175 psig (the beginning of the red zone on the ICM gauge) The ICM alarm and the audi-alarm bell will ring until the pressure is less than 200 psig. Press yellow reset button twice to power down ICM. CLEAN AND READY FOR SERVICE: self explanatoryHAVE A GOOD DAY! rev: 4/94, 3/99
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE COLLEGE STATION FIRE DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: Quantitative Fit Test (PortaCount Plus) SOP: 300.2.40 CATEGORY: Fire Operations PAGE: 1 of 2 APPROVED BY: Chief, Fire Department DATE: 11/02 Purpose 1) To conduct SCBA mask fit testing prior to use and conduct annual mask fit testing of all certified personnel. 2) Develop guidelines for records maintenance of fitting testing. Maintain fit test records to include date, type of test, employee information and type of facepiece used (Facepiece must be the same type/size as used by the employee). Requirements 1) Facial hair may not interfere with the facepiece seal or valve function (e.g., clean-shaven where the seal surface touches the face) including stubble, sideburns, or beards. 2) The employee must pass a user facepiece seal test (see <strong>procedure</strong>s section below) before proceeding to the fit test. 3) The test can not be given to an employee who has smoked in the last 30 minutes. Note: Requirement #1 Achieving an acceptable seal under “test” conditions (e.g., passing the quantitative PortaCouunt test with facial hair where the seal surface touches the skin) may be achieved, however, this does not mean a reliable seal can be consistently achieved under “ real world conditions”. The following rule will apply. The area where the facepiece seal surface touches the face, WILL BE CLEAN-SHAVEN. Quantitative fit test (PortaCount) Procedures 1) The employee shall be allowed to pick from a number of sizes ( Sm. Med. Or Large) so that the facepiece is acceptable to, and correctly fits, the employee. 2) The employee shall be shown how to properly don the facepiece, including how it should be positioned on the face, how to set the strap tension and how to determine an acceptable fit. 3) The following criteria shall be used to help determine the adequacy of the facepiece fit: a) Chin properly placed b) Adequate strap tension, not overly tightened c) Facepiece of proper size to span distance from nose to chin d) Tendency of facepiece to slip 4) A user seal check will be performed as follows: facepiece to be held inplace by hand, no straps, the employee shall seat the mask on his/her face by moving the head slowly from side-to-side and up/down. Close off the inlet opening of the face piece using a rubber plug or <strong>fire</strong>hawk regulator (scba with the cylinder valve closed) At this time the employee takes in a slow, deep breath, collapsing the face piece slightly. Remove the hand from the facepiece and hold the breath for ten (10) seconds, if the facepiece remains slightly collapsed and no leakage of air is detected, the employee has passed the manufacturers (MSA) user seal check guidelines. Another facepiece shall be selected and retested if the employee fails the user seal check test. orig: 11/98,3/99
