Testing of firefighter's protective clothing and its significance in terms of response to dangerous substance leakage in road transport
Abstrakt
With the increasing number of traffic accidents, it is necessary for the responding members of the Fire and Rescue Service to have the most modern equipment, which can significantly speed up and facilitate the course of the intervention. Thanks to the constant development of new, more modern technologies by manufacturers, every year they manage to speed up the course of the intervention and also improve the comfort of using the tool. All responding firefighters must use designated personal protective equipment when responding to a traffic accident. Personal protective equipment is a means intended for use by individuals to protect against one or more hygiene, health and safety risks. Emergency suits are an integral part of the equipment of every emergency firefighter. The firefighter's body is thus protected from weather influences, mechanical dirt and especially from the fire itself. There are situations when an anti-chemical suit is needed for an intervention, but there you have to be careful about the time risk, as well as the way back and decontamination, because here the movement of the interventionist is limited.
