What form do you complete if turnouts are damaged?

• A. F175
• B. F125
• C. S&M Form
• D. Damage Report

Answer: (A)

When turnout gear is damaged, you document it on the F175 form. This is the designated PPE damage reporting document, built to capture all the details needed to assess the gear and decide whether it can be repaired or must be retired. You’d record which item is affected (coat, pants, helmet, etc.), the serial or stock number, the date and how the damage occurred, a description of the damage, any immediate actions (taken out of service, tagged, sent to the shop), and the recommended next steps. Using this official form keeps the equipment inventory accurate and streamlines repairs or replacements. Other forms don’t fit this PPE-specific process. A generic damage report or forms with unrelated purposes wouldn’t collect the required PPE details or align with the PPE program’s workflow.
