WARNING Indicates potentially hazardous situations that could result in serious personal
injury or death if not avoided, or if instructions, including recommended precautions, are
not followed. The signal word “WARNING” is highlighted in orange on labels attached to
your Pants, and in black in this Guide.

WARNING
DANGER Indicates immediate hazards that will result in serious personal injury or death if
not avoided, or if instructions, including recommended precautions, are not followed. The
signal word “DANGER” is highlighted in red, both in this Guide and on labels affixed to
your Pants, to indicate the extreme hazard of the situation.

DANGER
For your personal safety, be alert for important safety messages in this training guide:
2. DEFINITIONS
ASTM
– Acronym for American Society of
Testing and Materials.
Aramid Fiber
s – Specially manufactured
polymer fibers in which the fiber-forming
material consists of linked, long chain-like
structures of large molecules. Aramid
fibers exhibit higher resistance to
flammability, higher strength, and higher
elasticity than ordinary synthetic or natural
fibers. Fabrics made from aramid fibers
maintain their integrity at high temperatures
and are used in protective clothing and other
industrial applications.
Authority Having Jurisdiction
– The
organization, office, or individual responsible
for approving equipment, an installation, or
a procedure.
Biological Agents
– Biological materials
that are capable of causing acute disease or
long-term damage to the human body.
Biological Terrorism Agents
– Liquid
or particulate agents that can consist of
biologically derived toxins or pathogens to
inflict lethal or incapacitating casualties.
Body Fluids
– Fluids produced by the body
including, but not limited to, blood, semen,
mucous, feces, urine, vaginal secretions,
breast milk, amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid,
synovial fluid, and pericardial fluid.
Chemical Terrorism Agent
– Liquid,
solid, gaseous, and vapor chemical warfare
agents and toxic industrial chemicals used
to inflict lethal or incapacitating casualties,
generally on a civilian population as a result of
a terrorist attack.
Component(s)
– Any material, part or
subassembly used in the construction of the
NFPA 1951 Utility/NFPA 1977/NFPA 1975
Tri-Certified Pants.
Entry Firefighting
– EXTRAORDINARILY
specialized firefighting operations that
can include the activities of rescue, fire
suppression, and property conservation at
incidents involving fires producing very high
levels of conductive, convective, and radiant
heat; such as aircraft fires, bulk flammable
gas fires, and bulk flammable liquid fires.
Highly specialized thermal protection from
exposure to extreme levels of conductive,
convective, and radiant heat is necessary for
persons involved in such EXTRAORDINARILY
specialized operations and because direct
entry into the flames is made. NFPA 1951
Utility/NFPA 1977/NFPA 1975 Tri-Certified
Pants are NEVER to be used for entry
firefighting or any direct contact with flames
or molten metals, and do not provide the
required level of protection.
CAUTION Indicates potentially hazardous situations or unsafe practices that could result
in minor or moderate personal injury or product or property damage if instructions,
including recommended precautions, are not followed. The signal word “CAUTION” is
highlighted in gray in this Guide.
