The Need for Respiratory Protection When Responding to a Motorsports Incident

摘要

WHEN WE SPEAK OF VEHICLE FIRES today, at least from a respiratory protection standpoint, the best practices approach from a worldwide perspective is, "Don positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) during suppression operations and also during postsuppression overhaul operations while smoke, vapor, and particles are present." However, this is on public roads, streets, highways, and motorways. What of motorsports? We rarely see SCBA at a motorsports venue, at least not seemingly beyond tokenism.
