Therefore, when the alarm sounds,firefighters must be trained, well prepared (mentally and physically), and equipped to mitigateand recover from whatever the emergency may be.In recent years since the catastrophic event of 9/11 occurred, the fire service has been under a lotof intensive stress among the nature of threats and hazards that they face. Both the threats havechanged and the role of the occupation to address these threats has changed. Firefightingequipment and technology have been advanced to include fully encapsulating ensemble,expensive technology for fire apparatus, enhanced communications, and new materials forextinguishment. However, firefighters are still losing their lives inside of burning buildings.According to the International

To help lessen this danger a permit-ting process has been developed within these industries that allow everyone to be aware ofthe scope of work that is being performed. By being informed, the amount of associatedsafety hazards, environmental, and personal damage are significantly reduced. However,many of these processes are still manual and paper based which introduces various opportu-nities for human error.
