Manufacturer's Corner: LION Addresses PPE Concerns amid COVID-19

Manufacturers’ Corner content is sponsored by manufacturers and suppliers serving the fire service industry.

LION TotalCare has created a helpful and informative set of resources in response to inquiries related to the handling and treatment of PPE that has been or is thought to have been exposed to COVID-19.

Included are some general guidelines to consider regarding PPE cleaning, sanitization and disinfection, as well as an overview on what LION TotalCare is doing in its facilities to mitigate risk. Because this is a new virus, we are consuming information being published by organizations such as the CDC and the WHO and executing protocols to keepour employees and first responders safe.

The resources are each available for download here, and they include:

• PPE Exposure Check List
• EPA-Approved Sanitizers
• NFPA 1851 Standard
• LION User Guide
• TotalCare Procedures
• TotalCare Service Map
• COVID-19 Presentation

There is a list of frequently asked questions to help you and your fire department, but if your questions or needs don't appear on the list, you can contact LION at [email protected].
