This is a little off the beaten path for us. But, there's been a lot of talk about OSHA's upcoming revised emergency response standard and what it could mean for firefighters.

DATE: July 13, 2024 TO: All Public Safety Command Officers FROM: Jim Etzin SUBJECT: Staging and Quick Reaction Critical incidents should have one collaborative public safety staging area and not separate ones for each discipline. Within such a staging area, a Quick Reaction Task Force should be formed as quickly as possible should the suspect depart the initial location for another. That is all.
https://lnkd.in/gPB34Spk The notice-and-comment period for OSHAs first cumulative update to the Fire Service is open. For reference, the last time it was open cumulatively—not piecemeal—they still called all Fire Departments “Fire Brigades.” For those unfamiliar, notice-and-comment is the standard way Administrative Agencies informally enact rules and regulations. It offers a unique opportunity to effectuate change by allowing members of the public to submit input to a proposal. Because it is open to the public for suggestions, Firefighters can voice their experience to help promulgate the changes they feel are most essential or absent from the rule or regulation. I worked in the Fire Service for a long time, I know you've all got opinions. You should thoughtfully submit them.
If you're in a #management position in the #fireservice and are not familiar with the #Interagencyboard, it's definitely something to be aware of. The InterAgency Board (IAB) is a voluntary, collaborative panel of emergency preparedness and response practioners representing all levels of government, operational, technical and support organizations. The IAB provides a structured forum for the exchange of ideas among local, state, and federal response communities to improve national preparedness. https://lnkd.in/efe4y7N8 #fire #hazmat #safety #equipment #interoperability #emergencymanagement #emergencypreparedness
What can be the difference between a peaceful day and a violent one? Often it’s as simple as speaking up. One recent example from New Jersey shows how recognizing warning signs—and then acting on that recognition to alert authorities—likely saved lives. TPOP takes a brief look at a few ways to implement preparedness training by once again remembering and applying “If You See Something, Say Something.” #situationalawareness #behavioralindicators https://lnkd.in/e7eM3Yt3

It's hard to believe I've been with Pinellas County Emergency Management for 3 months today. Talk about an absolute blast and with a great team. Good thing about being lead with ESF - 4, ESF - 9, ESF - 10 is still working with the local fire departments on Fire, SAR, and Hazmat. Bonus was getting Spec Ops with ESF-16, yes they let me work with LEO. #PinellasCounty #ESF4 #ESF9 #ESF10 #EmergencyManagement #PinellasCountyEmergencyManagement #FloridaEmergencyManagement
