Safety Officer-training

Posted on December 18, 2008 at 2:29pm 9 Comments

I have been appointed the safety officer for my department. I need to give a "safety talk" every month at our meeting. I'm looking for some ideas on what to talk about and a way to approach the subject so the department will listen and take heed.



Some of my ideas I would like to discuss are: Seat belts, Winter/Summer rehab, the accountability system, PPE maintanence, Wildland fire attack, Safety equipment on vehicle collisions and physical conditioning.

Susie, Gordon was telling me your com center uses Positron equipment. Let me tell you how sorry I am!
