Logging scheduled SCBA checks

Log SCBA inspections when they come due in the schedule.

 

Summary

SCBA checks in PSTrax are tied to the unit itself, allowing departments to verify that each position—such as captain, engineer, or firefighter—has the correct SCBA pack and cylinder. These checks are designed to track equipment usage in real time and make it easy to update gear locations when packs or cylinders move between units.

Instructions

To perform SCBA checks, go to your Schedule page and click the number of SCBA checks under the unit you're inspecting. Each user will then select their assigned position (e.g., Engineer, Captain) and identify which SCBA pack and cylinder are riding in that slot.

Performing an SCBA Check

  1. From the Schedule page, click the SCBA checks link beneath the appropriate unit.

  2. Select your assigned position (e.g., Engineer, Firefighter 1, RIT, etc.).

  3. Use the dropdown menus to select the correct Pack ID and Cylinder ID for that position.

    • You can search by ID number or serial number.

    • Previously logged equipment will prepopulate the fields.

  4. Click Next to begin your inspection.

  5. Complete the inspection by:

    • Clicking the green check mark to mark each task as complete.

    • Adding notes if needed using the pencil icon.

    • Clicking the alert icon if there's an issue or malfunction (e.g., damaged equipment or unusual noise).

  6. For cylinder checks, input the PSI reading into the appropriate field.

  7. Once all tasks are completed, click Log All Checked Items to submit.

Updating Equipment

  • If the equipment in your assigned slot has changed (e.g., the cylinder is different), select the updated item from the dropdown before logging your check.

  • The system will remember the new gear next time checks are due, keeping future inspections accurate.
