Discussion and possible action to accept funding from Safety National in the amount of $19,690.00 to Casco Industries for the purchase of 55 face pieces for the Webb County Volunteer Fire Department, per NFPA 1500 Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety, Health, and Wellness Program which requires each individual possess their own properly fitted mask (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus, SCBA). No expense will be conducted by Webb County.
Issue: Webb County Volunteer Fire Department lacks sufficient face shields required by NFPA 1500. Currently, masks are rotated, shared, and utilized by personnel on shift.
Solution: Purchasing this safety equipment will be beneficial for fire personnel to have their face 3piece and not share their breathing masks and thus follow NFPA Standard. Not only would this reduce their exposure to COVID-19, but also to other airborne contagious diseases, and provide the safest seal while entering fire scenes.
Result: Healthier and enhanced protection for our firefighters. |
