When fitted with a breathing apparatus air cylinder compressor for firefighting BA sets, personnel responsible for filling breathing air cylinders are familiar with the use of the equipment, and ensuring proper air quality when using the equipment
Ensuring proper air quality when filling BA cylinders is of major importance. BA compressors may utilize fixed intakes, or may be portable and moved to an appropriate location. Personnel responsible for filling BA cylinders should recognize conditions
which may have a negative impact on air quality when filling the cylinders, including the location of the air intake to the compressor, proper use of intake filters to avoid particulate matter, and oil leaks or other maintenance conditions.
This question is intended to cover any otherCoppolaarea questioned by the inspector not covered by the questions in this chapter.
Personnel are familiar with the use of the other firefighting equipment carried
If answered No, the inspector should note the issues identified.
Personnel are familiar with the steps to be taken to respond to a vent mast fire, including:
- stopping the venting of cargo/gas
- injecting inert gas into the vent if possible |
