Firefighter Training SCBA Check Skill Sheet 12-FF-2 Objective : Morning SCBA Check-Off Procedure Firefighter Name: Date: Directions Morning SCBA Check off Procedure. A typical structure fire IDLH atmosphere usually consists of a toxic air supply and high heat of varying degrees. The four key elements that allow us to operate in a IDLH environment are: SOPS, a strong strategic based Incident Command System, Water and tools with the ability to deliver it, and our PPE. The centerpiece of our PPE is the SCBA. Our ability to operate in a IDLH environment rely on the mechanical function of the SCBA. The morning Check-off of each individuals SCBA becomes the most critical step in our apparatus and equipment checks. Your life and your crew members life depends on the smooth and seamless operation of the SCBA. Once arriving for your assignment your first responsibility is to relieve your counterpart and inspect your SCBA.
