If the borrower has a plan to mitigate these factors, PBEM can reconsider. | * '''PBEM will check out the burn pan for use only on days when the heat index is BELOW 90°F.'''

One volunteer needs to operate the control pad, while the other needs to ensure trainees are engaging in safe practices and keeping an eye out for prospective hazards. | * '''A minimum of two volunteers trained on the burn pan is required to check it out for a session.''' One volunteer needs to operate the control pad, while the other needs to ensure trainees are engaging in safe practices and keeping an eye out for prospective hazards. One volunteer will also be challenged to load in and load out safely because the burn pan case is too heavy for most people to lift. | ||
