Thoughts about Rehab?

With the sight of LODD’s nationally and I know that in Columbiana County it will never happen. (Insert sarcasm here). What do departments do for rehab? What are you standards and times? I don’t know and have no knowledge of how rehab should be set up. I would like to work on setting it up for my group to help make sure we are being safer and keeping better track of our people. So here are my thoughts and let me know what you think. How would you change it for weather? Hot, humid or cold?

Age 18 to 28

To be checked after second entry of a working structure.

As well as 45 minutes into events if not entry work.

Age 28 and up, or over weight.

To be checked after first entry of a working structure.

As well as 30 minutes into events if not entry work.

I know there is more to it than this. I have just started to look into it and research it. If you do it how about helping a brother out… be safe

Hey Max,
That was just covered in our SOP's. I'm going to show it to Bobby and Christine and get thier feed back. It basically covers all the questions you asked and has forms that are required to be filled out. Let me know if you want a copy.
