In a monumental standards shift, the NFPA Standards Council approved consolidating its PPE standards into one umbrella standard – the upcoming NFPA 1970: Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural and Proximity Firefighting, Work Apparel and Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) for Emergency Services, and Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS). The move signals significant changes to PPE standards, which fire departments must understand and implement.

Join us for an MSA-sponsored webinar on Thursday, October 27, at 1:00 PM ET. Moderated by Fire Chief Marc Bashoor, you’ll get an early look at the changes on the table and their likely consequences, learn more about the decision to restructure PPE-focused standards, and be soundly informed in order to make your voice heard before the various changes are finalized.

The speaker for this webinar is Jeffrey Stull, President of International Personnel Protection, Inc. and a regular FireRescue1 columnist focusing on PPE. He serves on several NFPA committees on PPE as well as the ASTM International committee on protective clothing. He participates in the Interagency Board for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability and authored the book, "PPE Made Easy.”
