Downloadable Vest S.O.P Here for Your Department

Friday, November 21, 2008

Need a Vest S.O.P for your Fire Department? We’ve got one for you.

Download a Generic High Visibility Vest S.O.P. and modify it to meet your needs. Respondersafety.com receives at least one request a day for clarification on how to deal with the “blackout period” November 24, 2008, the date the Federal Rule takes effect, and the issuance of the new Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) scheduled for publication in 2009.

The CVVFA Emergency Responder Safety Institute believes that the MUTCD will include language that clarifies when and when not to wear a high visibility vest. (See Traffic Vests and High Visibility Issues)

We asked our Chief Instructor Ron Moore to develop a S.O.P. That will assist fire departments to protect their personnel until the Federal Highway Administration issues the 2009 Edition of the MUTCD that will supersede the Federal Rule.
