Description

Minimize occupational health risks.

This Standard contains requirements for the establishment of a written fire department infection control policy and incorporation of infection control in the fire department’s written risk management plan.

NFPA 1581 requires the identification, evaluation, control, and monitoring of risks from infectious environments in fire department facilities, fire department vehicles, emergency medical operations, cleaning and disinfecting of protective clothing and equipment, and other situations that pose a risk to members through occupational exposure to a communicable disease. Requirements apply to public, military, private, and industrial fire departments providing fire suppression, rescue, emergency medical care, and other emergency services.

The 2005 edition was revised to update the information on infectious diseases, update the requirements for vehicles used to transport patients, clarify ambiguous wording, and update the references to other documents.
