THE AIM IS TO GET CLEANING VALIDATION TOOLS, AND EFFECTIVE CLEANING METHODOLOGIES, INTO MORE FIRE DEPARTMENTS SO THAT CHRONIC EXPOSURES ARE MINIMIZED. 420940 EXPOSURE MITIGATION STRATEGIESTHE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXPOSURE MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR FIRE INVESTIGATORS. THE PROJECT AIMS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF FIRE INVESTIGATORS BY DETERMINING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PPE, POST-FIRE SKIN-CLEANSING WIPES, AND ON-SCENE DECONTAMINATION METHODS FOR MITIGATING EXPOSURES TO TOXIC FIREGROUND CONTAMINANTS WHILE CONDUCTING INVESTIGATIONS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE PRIMARY GOALS OR TARGETS OF THIS STUDY ARE TO REDUCE FIRE INVESTIGATOR EXPOSURES TO TOXIC FIREGROUND CONTAMINANTS THROUGH (1) ENSURING FIRE INVESTIGATORS HAVE PPE THAT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY LEVELS OF VAPOR AND PARTICULATE PROTECTION WHILE ALSO AFFORDING AN ESSENTIAL LEVEL OF THERMAL COMFORT, (2) CONFIRMING THAT SKIN CLEANSING WIPES FOR ON-SCENE DECONTAMINATION OF FIRE INVESTIGATORS ARE EFFECTIVE, AND (3) DETERMINING THE EFFICACY OF SIMPLE ON-SCENE WET DECONTAMINATION AS WELL AS DOFFING AND BAGGING GEAR AS A MEANS TO LIMIT SECONDARY EXPOSURE. 282539 PROPERTY INSURANCE RESEARCHTHE PURPOSE OF THE PROPERTY INSURANCE RESEACH GROUP IS TO SUPPORT THE MISSION AND ACTIVITIES OF THE FIRE PROTECTION RESEARCH FOUNDATION BY PROVIDING A FORUM FOR INTERESTED MEMBERS OF THE PROPERTY INSURANCE INDUSTRY TO DISCUSS INDUSTRY RELEVANT FIRE PROTECTION ISSUES AND IDENTIFY RELATED RESEARCH NEEDS THAT COULD BE MET THROUGH RESEARCH PROJECTS CONDUCTED BY THE FOUNDATION.
