safety equipment. Equipment should be inspected after each use by an
inspector that meets your department’s training standard for inspection of
life safety equipment. Record the date of the inspection and the results in
the equipment log. Each user should be trained in equipment inspection and
should do a cursory inspection before each use.
The MPD should be inspected after each use to ensure that damage did not
occur. When inspecting, look for any damaged, dirty or sticking components,
excessive wear or any other factor that may prevent proper function.
If any
significant damage is observed, the equipment should be retired from
service
.
The MPD must be inspected after an impact load has occurred. Inspect for

before being placed in service. The MPD is a robust unit but should still
be inspected after each use to ensure that damage did not occur. When

wear or any other factor that may prevent proper function.
