POLICY
Residential address of NSWFB employees
This instruction replaces In Orders 2003/20, Residential address of NSWFB employees.

1. Policy

All employees are required to advise the NSWFB of their residential address and contact telephone number/s. Employees must advise the NSWFB immediately of any changes to those details.

The official record of your residential address and contact telephone number/s is held in the Human Resources Management System.

The NSWFB uses this information for managing your employment relationship with the NSWFB, and for contacting you in emergencies. The information must be managed in accordance with In Orders 2005/18, Privacy policy, and In Orders 2006/18, Privacy and confidentiality of personnel information.

2. Keeping your details up to date

To update your details, use Electronic Self Service which enters your contact details directly into the Human Resources Management System.

If you use Electronic Self Service to update your details, you must also ensure that:

· your Personal Record Card is updated, and

· your Duty Commander?s Staff Contact Register is updated.

Alternatively, you can use the change of address form available on the Intranet. This form has to be submitted through your chain of command to the Zone Office (Retained Firefighters) or to Personnel in Head Office (Permanent Firefighters, administrative and technical staff).

3. Address details

Residential address means the place where you live, reside or dwell. It does not mean an address which is used by you for brief stays and does not mean a postal address.

Post Office boxes or a postal address are acceptable for mailing purposes. However, all NSWFB employees are also required to lodge their residential address and contact details.

When you enter your address in Electronic Self Service, Address 1 is used as your postal address.

· If your residential address differs from your postal address, put your residential address information as Address 2.

· If your postal address and residential address are the same, you only need to update Address 1.

A change log is kept every time you update your address details. This log is used as a reference for country and regional transfer registers.

4. Contact telephone number/s

Your contact telephone number/s means the telephone number/s for contacting you in an emergency.

PROCEDURE
Disinfecting breathing apparatus facemasks

This instruction rescinds In Orders 2007/24, Disinfecting breathing apparatus facemasks.

1. Background

The procedure for disinfecting breathing apparatus (BA) facemasks has been amended to reduce the possibility of cross contamination between BA wearers.

A new procedure has been introduced which must be followed every time.

The second step now states to ?agitate thoroughly with finger? while putting the mask under clean running water. This improves the removal of bacteria left in the mask by the wearer.

The third step now states to spray liberally with BA disinfectant (Instrumax Pink).

2. Amendment to Standard Operational Guideline 9.3

Standard Operational Guideline 9.3, Breathing apparatus servicing, Section 3.4, Disinfection, clause 3.4.2 is amended and replaced by the following:

3.4.2 To disinfect facemasks:

· Disconnect facemask from demand valve

· Rinse facemask in clean running water (not hot), and agitate thoroughly with finger

· Spray liberally with BA disinfectant

· Leave for 10 minutes

· Rinse in clean running water

· Dry the facemask

· Attach the demand valve to the facemask, and

· Carry out pre-operational check on the complete SCBA set.
