Presented by Henry Costo
Sponsored by PBI Performance Products, Inc.

The personal protective equipment (PPE) a firefighter wears is a critical part of his or her safety; in certain incidents, it can be the line between life and death. For that reason, it is imperative that all fire departments have in place a PPE selection and evaluation program that maximizes firefighter safety while also minimizing costs and liability.

In this Webcast, we’ll review the elements of a successful PPE program, including:

* The need for your PPE evaluations to be consistent and ongoing (not just once every four years)
* The three stages of an effective selection process
* What factors (organizational needs, evolving standards, technological advances, etc)t consider in the selection process
* How to balance the need for firefighter safety with budget limitations
* What data to capture from incident reports to determine where PPE modifications might be needed
* How to use your PPE selection and evaluation system to protect you from PPE-related litigation
