    • Procedures to be adopted in case of alert
    • Evacuation procedures
    • Call for emergency services
    • Collaboration with the fire service in case of intervention

     

    Personal Protective Equipment

     

    • Protection devices and use
    • Protective clothing
    • Airway protection:
    • Air composition and negative consequences of a low presence of oxygen
    • Breathable air
    • Anti-gas masks, dust masks, filters choice, limitations, breathing apparatus
    • Description, autonomy and use of air-injection breathing apparatus.

    • Extinction of a pressurized liquid (flange coupling) with powder extinguisher
    • Intervention simulations with the emergency team
    • Fire extinction on a circular tank and leakage from flange coupling with powder extinguisher and water fog
    • Test in training tank to check claustrophobia
    • Practical intervention in a closed environment filled with non-toxic smoke to check the correct use of respiratory protective devices, stressing situations, specific sounds: noise, cries, explosions (supervision and monitoring through infrared cameras)
    • Practical sessions with self-protector for air optimization through:
    • Conveyor belt (tapis roulant)
    • Multi-speed ladder
    • dynamometer
    • Practical session (rescue simulation) in a multi-storey building with smoke and heat
    • Intervention in case of under pressure gas leak
    • Fire extinction on a road tanker
    • Fire extinction of leak from a “Rack” placed at more than 4meter height, with powder extinguisher and water fog (leak on a footbridge at the basis of the Rack)
    • How a high and medium-expansion foam system works
    • Extinction of 100 sqm fires with foam agents
    • Fire tunnel crossing with the use of aluminized and thermoreflective suits
