NFPA 1404-2018 PDF Download

NFPA 1404-2018 is the standard for Fire Service Respiratory Protection Training. It sets out the minimum requirements for the training component of the Respiratory Protection Program, which is outlined in the NFPA 1500: Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program. This standard aims to protect the safety of response personnel by providing them with the necessary training on respiratory procedures that can save lives.

The standard covers safety procedures for fire suppression, rescue, and related activities in environments that are toxic, contaminated, or oxygen-deficient. It aligns with the latest editions of both NFPA 1500 and NFPA 1852: Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The 2018 edition includes minor editorial clarifications to make the requirements easier to understand and apply in practice.
