It will focus on the operational environment where the rubber meets the road concentrating on a process of selection using what the responder has in her or her closet. It will also examine the new NFPA Standards, 1990 and 1891. if any participants request I will create a specifically tailored PPE Selection Worksheet for each represented Hazmat Team.
