The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Fire Brigades standard (1910.156) outlines the baseline requirements for fire brigades in workplaces and covers a variety of topics to include organization, training, equipment and operations, to ensure firefighting activities are safe in the workplace. The new proposed standard, which is titled Emergency Response, focuses on doing what OSHA was established to do: protect workers. If adopted, the new standard will advance regulation nearly 40 years and encompass new research and many consensus documents that focus on improving best practices and reporting of the real-world hazards that firefighters, EMS personnel and technical rescue members face each day. Some fear that the new technical standards may shut down many volunteer rescue teams. https://lnkd.in/eJBX-NU3

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is proposing an update to workplace protections for fire fighters and other emergency service personnel, marking the first significant revision in over forty years. While OSHA indicated that numbers are most likely under reported in the report, 3 things stand out to me: 1. Fire/ Emergency Response 2. Striking/ Crushed/ Collision 3. Heart attack This is why I'm passionate about ensuring my firefighter brothers and sisters make it home safely at the end of the day! I can help assess your building and/or business to ensure it meets the National Fire Codes standards, proper permits, and show you why. #martellosafety #occupationalhealthandsafety #firesafetyplan #firefighters #iaff #yyc #workplaceprotections #employeesafety
