City of Miami Evaluated adequacy of PPE Evaluated adequacy of maintenance and cleaning of PPE Revised procedures Distributed a 2nd hood for all members Replaced gear determined to be out of date and or non-compliant

City of Miami Implement early cancer prevention and protection (Life Scan) Implemented negative pressure systems for PPE storage OR; Installation of storage pods Exhaust removal Passive Direct-capture Exhaust filtration (vehicles older than 2006)

Storage Pods Inexpensive solution Power Lighting Ventilation Takes up only one parking spot!

Exhaust Removal/Storage
