Personal Safety System and Harness Offer Firefighters a Safe Exit

摘要

The fire department of new York (FDNY) and Petzl developed the Petzl EXO Personal Safety System (PSS) to provide firefighters with a means for safely exiting a hostile environment in a burning structure. However, users must consider bunker gear concerns, harness requirements, and training issues regarding the device's proper attachment and deployment. This system is designed to be worn on the outside of the firefighter's protective pants and under the turnout coat for easy access, for rapid deployment, and to protect the system from the fire atmosphere.
