Fire Brigades - Introduction |
|||
This Fire
Brigade section contains requirements for the organization, training, and personal
protective equipment for fire brigades. These requirements apply to fire brigades whenever
they are established by an employer. This section is divided into the topics listed to the
left. The requirements of 1910.156 apply to fire brigades, industrial fire departments, private or contractual fire departments, and all portable and fixed fire suppression equipment. 1910.156 does not apply to airport crash rescue or forest fire fighting operations. The discussion in this section is limited to the requirements that apply to fire brigades. It should be noted that this regulation does not require an employer to establish fire brigades. If they are established, the requirements must be met. |
