SAFETY SPECIALIST REPORT
April 2025 was a focused month for Safety, emphasizing respiratory protection, environmental compliance, and continuity planning. Respiratory Protection Program Progress continued on the Respiratory Protection Program despite challenges. Reconciling fit-testing data for upload to MSA FireGrid is ongoing, hindered by slow template updates. PortaCount machines remain out for calibration due to sole-source delays, with an expected return in May. HIOSH permitting for breathing air systems advanced, with applications submitted for Pahoa, Makalei, and Waiakea stations. Pahala’s system remains out of service pending valve replacement, with inspections to be scheduled post-repair. Anticipate HIOSH to conduct west-side inspections in June, and east-side in July. A memo on MSA G1 mask inspection and cleaning was distributed on April 21, reinforcing proper maintenance to address prior corrosion issues. The 35 SCBA bottles from Training’s cache, linked to March’s ARFF incident, were sent for inspection and hydro-testing with final results expected in May. Class B Foam Disposal Efforts to comply with HRS §321-604 for Class B foam disposal progressed. An inventory confirmed 155 containers (approximately 750 gallons) from Johnson Controls, 3M, and Hartford Chemical. I met with AKW Environmental on April 30 to estimate disposal costs, with plans to ship foam to the mainland for incineration or lined-landfill disposal. Continuity of Operations (COOP) The Active Assailant Emergency Action Plan draft is under review by F1/F2, with revisions expected by mid-May. Planning began for a two-phase COOP exercise tentatively set for September or October, focusing on communication redundancies identified in March’s After-Action Report. Measles Response A second measles case was confirmed on Oahu, linked to a travel-related case reported on April 7. Distributed Fire Advisory 2025-002 and Bulletin 2025-004, incorporating updated EMS Branch and medical director guidance. Nationally as of April 28th, 96% of 884 cases are unvaccinated, with a 12% hospitalization rate among unvaccinated individuals versus mild symptoms in breakthrough cases. There have been three deaths, all in unvaccinated individuals (two minors, one adult). Accident and Damage Reporting To date, two new accident reports and one damage report were received in April. Other Updates The Safety Committee meeting was canceled due to lack of quorum. NFPA 1932 ground ladder testing equipment procurement ($13,650) is progressing, with purchasing request forms submitted for the next fiscal year. A particle counter order was redirected to an alternate vendor after a shipping cancellation. Safety Bulletin 2025-003 (Puainako left turn restrictions) and Advisory 2025-001 (Hands off Hawaii protests) were issued on April 2. Mahalo for prioritizing safety and supporting these initiatives.
