Comment by Kenneth Johnson on July 29, 2009 at 11:23pm - Mr. Casto, thanks for your post. I think our top pulse rate cannot be over 100 bpm, and our highest systolic BP cannot be over 90. Research this some more, and see what others are saying. Ask your Emergency Medical Director in your county or jurisdiction. If I find more, I will post again.

Comment by Phil Casto on July 29, 2009 at 1:23pm - Kenneth, is there a regulation of some sort that states what your pulse rate and bp needs to be at/under to suit up and respond to a hazmat incident? if so, who is supposed to be taking these measurements?

Story for Brian Jones, and anyone else,
Many years ago, our team was getting ready to suit up in Level A suits to go in and stop a leak on a chlorine rail car. We had our suits on up to our waists, and were undergoing medical monitoring and getting our vital signs taken. All of a sudden, a guy comes bursting into the room we were in and jumps over about 3 of us to get to a valve that needed closing quickly. All of our pulse rates and B/P's went out the top. Hardly anyone had vital signs low enough to finish suiting up and make entry. We did get the leak stopped, though.
