Description: PASS Device - personal alert safety system (certified as compliant with NFPA

ImportantFeatures: Personal alert safety systems (PASS) provide an alarm whenever the wearer is motionless for 30 seconds or more. PASS provide audible alarms to aid in the location of a downed firefighter or first responder. These devices are built to be relatively small, rugged, and resistant to extreme physical or environmental conditions. PASS may be either separate or integrated into SCBA

. All PASS devices are required to be automatically activated when used.

Operating Considerations: PASS should be mounted such that the alarm signal will not be muffled if not part of the SCBA

National Fire Protection Association
1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program.
