The International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI) provides a comprehensive set of best practices designed to protect fire investigators from health risks associated with fire scene contaminants. Key recommendations include:
- Using appropriate respiratory protection (such as full-face respirators with P100/organic vapor cartridges).
- Wearing disposable or easily decontaminated protective clothing.
- Limiting time on scene and avoiding eating, drinking, or using tobacco while working in contaminated environments.
- Cleaning or disposing of contaminated equipment and clothing to prevent cross-contamination.
These practices aim to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancers and respiratory illnesses, and emphasize personal responsibility and organizational support in promoting safer work environments.
