“An Insight on how to Create and Maintain an Effective Safety Program that Saves Lives”
Our Ethical and Moral Responsibility to Safety and Health
Firefighters and First Responders across the World are susceptible to multiple elements that can cause injury, illness, disease, or worse; even death. Some of those threats may not appear to be an immediate danger to life and health, but after repeated exposure and years of service they ultimately become a danger to our well-being and can have negative impacts on our career and ultimately leave you to being exposed. As public servants we perform our duties around shared values such as “selflessness”. We understand that we have an inherently dangerous profession and accept the threats that we’re exposed to day in and day out; month after month; and year after year for the span of our career. Now more than ever, we have an ethical and moral responsibility to promote safety and health.
