PPE Tracking Software for Firefighters

Proper management of PPE is essential for the safety and readiness of your firefighters. The PPE module keeps your turnouts inspected, cleaned and documented under NFPA 1851 (now part of NFPA 1850), and logs every contamination exposure against the gear and the member who wore it.

Capabilities

Key Features of the PPE Tracking Module

Your PPE guy will relish this software. The module is packed with features and customizations, yet stays clean and uncomplicated for even the least tech-savvy firefighter.

PPE Inventory Tracking

Maintain a comprehensive record of all PPE, including helmets, gloves, boots, hoods and turnouts.

Advanced Inspection Tracking

Log routine and advanced inspections of your turnouts to fulfill NFPA 1851 requirements, with photos where they help.

Streamlined Requests

Crews document a problem or notify the PPE manager of an issue right from the floor, without finding a form.

Assignment Records

Track which team members are issued specific gear, so accountability and individual readiness are never in question.

Alerts & Reminders

Notifications for annual inspections, routine maintenance, and gear nearing the end of its service life.

Integrated Work Orders

Repairs and modifications flow into a work order system, including ISP vendor work, with the record kept on the garment.

Exposure & Decon

Every Exposure Logged. Every Set of Gear Cleaned and Verified.

A fire leaves contaminants in turnouts. Emergency Logs records what each set of gear was exposed to, makes sure it gets advanced cleaning on time, and keeps a running exposure history for every member.

Log the Exposure

Scan or type the serial numbers of everything worn on the call. Record the incident type, contaminants, on-scene gross decon, notes and a photo in one entry.

Flagged for Cleaning

When the incident or a contaminant calls for it, every item on the entry is flagged for advanced cleaning with a due date set by your SOP. Outstanding gear sits on one worklist.

Cleaned and Verified

Record how it was cleaned: method, water temperature, pH and detergent. A member or your ISP verifies it clean by visual check, ATP swab or UV light, or sends it back for a re-clean.

Nothing Slips

Overdue decon goes to the member by email and text, and into the PPE manager's digest. Scheduled advanced cleaning shows Due Soon and Overdue on every set of gear.

Member Exposure Report

A Career-Long Exposure Record for Every Firefighter

Pull any member's full exposure history on one page or as a PDF: every incident, the gear they wore, what it was exposed to, and whether it was cleaned. Carcinogen exposures are flagged. When a member, their physician or a claim needs the record, it is already written.

  • Exposure history by member and by serial number
  • Contaminant breakdown, carcinogens flagged
  • Decon status trail for every item, with who and when
  • Works with any RMS or CAD, or none
The Product

The Screen Your Safety Officer Will Use

Every set of turnout gear by serial number, size, who it is assigned to, where it is, and when the last routine and advanced inspections were done. What is pending and what is overdue sits in the header on every page. A firefighter inspects their own gear from a phone.
