OSHA has posed the “Emergency Response Standard” to significantly upgrade the 44-year-old federal standards for #FirstResponders health, safety, and wellbeing. The Agency’s intentions are very well placed; however, the comprehensive nature of the proposal could lead easily lead to triple-digit hours’ worth of compliance, high costs that could certainly impact small districts/agencies providing fire and ambulance services, and place further pressures on volunteer service. Join the National Association of Emergency and Fire Officials for a 90-minute deep-dive with Scott Moore of Moore EMS Consulting for what your fire, ambulance, and emergency services district needs to know about the rule ahead of the July 21 (extended) public comment period.

Day 6 of Careers in Public Health (CIPH)'s challenge. Building consistency is never easy, but persistence is key. Today, I learned about law making and health emergency preparedness from OpenWHO. Law making and health emergency preparedness are crucial aspects of public health and safety. Laws related to health emergency preparedness ensure that there are clear guidelines and authorities need to act fast and effectively during situations of emergency. As we navigate our unpredictable world, the intersection of these two concepts is where public safety meets strategic foresight as they provide a framework for a rapid, effective response to crises. #10dayscareerchallengewithCIPH #10daysofcareerdevelopment #WHO
