Setting SCBA alerts
Notify the appropriate personnel whenever there's an issue, malfunction, or discrepancy with your SCBA equipment.
Summary
Alerts in the SCBA module are used to notify designated personnel whenever an issue is identified with an SCBA pack or cylinder. Alerts can be triggered during scheduled inspections, as needed checks, or directly from the SCBA gear list.
Instructions
Alerts can be set in multiple places throughout the SCBA module. The most common is during the course of a scheduled SCBA inspection, but users can also set alerts during as needed checks or from the SCBA gear list.
Setting Alerts During a Scheduled SCBA Inspection
- Navigate to the SCBA check by clicking SCBA Checks under the appropriate unit.
- Locate the position you're responsible for and select the appropriate pack and cylinder.
- During the checklist, click the alert icon next to the task with the issue.
- In the notes field, describe the issue or discrepancy. You may also:
- Mark the item as failing to keep the slot open for a new pack.
- Attach a file (e.g., image or document).
- Complete the rest of your inspection and click Log Checked Items.
- On the SCBA Alert Form, review or add more notes. The system will:
- Pre-fill the position and gear information
- Pre-select the appropriate alert recipients
- Add or remove recipients if needed, then click Set Alert.
- A notification is sent via email or text, and you'll be redirected to your inspection checklist.
- On the Home Screen → SCBA tab, the new alert will appear.
