Personal Responsibility Code - FEMSA

L.N. Curtis & sons is a proud member of the Fire and Emergency Manufacturers and Services Association (FEMSA). We feel the Personal Responsibility Code established by FEMSA is extremely important and encourage our customers to become familiar with its focus on safety in the field of emergency response.

Personal Responsibility Code (Updated by FEMSA November 2006)

The member companies of FEMSA that provide emergency response equipment and services want responders to know and understand the following:

1. Firefighting and Emergency Response are inherently dangerous activities requiring proper training in their hazards and the use of extreme caution at all times.
2. It is your responsibility to read and understand any user's instructions, including purpose and limitations, provided with any piece of equipment you may be called upon to use.
3. It is your responsibility to know that you have been properly trained in Firefighting and/or Emergency Response and in the use, precautions, and care of any equipment you may be called upon to use.
4. It is your responsibility to be in proper physical condition and to maintain the personal skill level required to operate any equipment you may be called upon to use.
5. It is your responsibility to know that your equipment is in operable condition and has been maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in death, burns or other severe injury.
