This standard is to be <br />implemented in a process aimed at improving member health and wellness. Due to the <br />hazardous nature of the occupation, methods to reduce the risk of occupational injury, <br />illness, and exposures to communicable disease are warranted. Annual reports <br />repeatedly indicate over 100 line -of -duty deaths and 100,000 occupational injuries and <br />illnesses among career and volunteer firefighters. Another concern is the firefighters <br />who experience disabling injuries or develop occupational disease and conditions, which <br />often have debilitating or fatal results, forcing them to leave their fire service activities. <br />There is an increased risk of respiratory and heart disease in firefighters and strong <br />evidence of a link to some cancers and other conditions related to occupational <br />exposures to carcinogens, toxic products of combustion, and hazardous materials. <br />Safety and health are two of the many components of the risk management process. <br />The intent of this standard is to reduce the risk and burden of fire service occupational <br />morbidity and mortality while improving the welfare of firefighters. By implementing <br />the medical requirements of this standard, a fire department commits to a process that <br />evaluates and enhances the health and fitness for duty of members. <br />Charge per HazMat Employee: <br />Our charge per employee is $316.00.
