Daily Safety Messages
Every day for the past several years our department (the on duty BC) creates some sort of Safety topic to send out with the daily manpower. Examples: 6 Minutes for Safety, Take 5 for Safety, or firefighterclosecalls.com. We rarely don't send one, there is always some sort of topic related to weather, road, drivers, fires in building, wildland fire, hazmat, rescue, on and on and on to go out to all the guys and gals to listen to at am briefing or sometime during the day. We even take turns doing it so as one person never has to do it all the time and we share the knowledge curve.
Who else is doing this, is it working for you, how much feedback are yoiu getting, does anyone care, is anyone suggesting new topics (I get lots of feedback on this one, sometimes to much) Let me know. Don Zimmerman

Don, that is a great idea. Even the most trivial tasks can lead to craziness if we don't pay attention or get too cocky, or just let plain old complacency take over. A little reminder is never a bad thing. Good on you guys!

Our county does a radio safety message for a week at 7 AM and 7 PM. It can be about driving, wearing your PPE properly, if its about safety there is a radio message. If there is a a weather or someother event then the messages are repeated more during the 24 hours.

We have been doing this with our daily roll call for years. We a few years ago we added to the roll call, equipment changes, safety directives, new policies, things that need to be done daily, what has been repaired since last shift, and we created a list of "extremely dangerous" target hazard buildings, condemed, slated for demolition, under construction or abandoned. We also cover every LODD announcement that comes out, and it always ends with wear your seat belt - it is not an option.

It is nice to know others are doing some of the same stuff we have been doing for the past 4-6 yrs. I don't know of any plan to change it it don't think anyone would becuase it seems to be working, at least everyone is watching out ofr the person next to them so we all stay out of trouble. We tried the radio delivery but there is just to much traffic to do that. We save the radio fot the big ticket items (Immediate action stuff).
