Safety is at the core of TVF&R's "Chief's Bullseye"
Did you know that 50% of firefighter line-of-duty deaths are caused by health and fitness-related issues? Employee health has been the subject of hundreds of research projects which intuitively conclude that by reducing health risks and actively preventing the onset of disease, employees are happier and more productive. We owe it to the communities who depend on us to take care of ourselves.
At TVF&R, the emergency responders and the staff ensuring that our business runs smoothly can all benefit from increased physical activity and fitness, as well as the overall awareness of ways to make each other safer. On June 22, 23 and 24, TVF&R will participate in Safety Health and Survival Week. The annual event is part of a national effort sponsored by the IAFF and IAFC to focus entirely on safety and wellness-related training and education.
Themed “Fit for Duty,” this year’s Safety, Health and Survival Week will address a variety of wellness initiatives, including:
· Firefighter fatigue management
· Reducing the risk of health threats from contaminated EMS equipment
· Evaluating fitness opportunities (whether at your desk or in the gym), and;
· Tactical driving
