What does this measure tell us?

NFPA 1975 Standard on Station/Work Uniforms establishes minimum requirements for thermally stable textiles that will not rapidly deteriorate, melt, shrink, or adhere to the wearer’s skin, causing greater, more severe burn injuries.  This measure tells us if we are complying with our target outcome of providing safe working conditions for all uniformed members of the district in regards to protective clothing.  This measure also assures our compliance with Washington Administrative Code requirements of providing protective equipment at no cost to members while meeting the provisions of the current labor contract.

Goal being measured:

Develop and Maintain an Effective Training & Safety Program. 

Provide all uniformed members with the highest level of protective clothing in an effort to provide the safest working conditions possible, while reducing the potential for occupational injuries, illnesses, and exposures.
