A Unique and Emerging Fire Fighting Suppression Problem
The Risk of Legacy Fire Suppression Foam
More companies are realizing the costs and risks of an uncontrolled release of PFAS containing foam also known as 'forever chemicals' that find their way into human drinking water, whether through a loss of containment from storage totes, or intentional discharge during testing or a fire event. The increasing regulatory and legal concerns have led corporate departments such as risk management, health & safety and emergency response teams to seek experienced and qualified SMEs for their specialized technical expertise to address these issues.
Leverage experience and knowledge in PFAS transition
Does your business or team lack the knowledge on how to transition away from AFFF? I have a unique skillset in this area of fire protection systems as my work experience has included an award winning assessment process that leveraged the expertise of many stakeholders that include corporate departments such as technical process safety, emergency response, business continuity, insurance, legal, and environmental. This process conforms to API guidance for AFFF transition to fluorine free foams. Discover some of the best practices with me.
PFAS fire fighting foam transition advice
A thorough process of transitioning foam needs to address a whole life cycle of foam product and equipment management such as a foam transition feasibility assessment, an MOC, and implementation: removal of inventory, cleaning, disposal, product procurement and testing. My consultation on PFAS issues as a technical safety engineer will include several key stages such as a presentation on the problem statement, identifying the systems involved, gathering technical data on the fire protection system and protected assets, identifying fire and foam use scenarios, and then issuing an assessment report including the recommendations for foam transition. If transition is required, then an MOC checklist will be provided.
