Did you know that when screened through a Human Factors Lens most disasters, major events have had 5-7 precursors? That means factors such as sleep, illness/injury, executive pressure, unfamiliarity, incompetence, stress (personal and professional) etc can aggregate together and affect decision-making. Well-intentioned poor decisions lead to negative consequences. Nuclear disasters, oil rig explosions, plane crashes, train derailments...and yes firefighters dying in the line of duty (LODD) can result in response to Human Factors. Let's bring more awareness to the Human Factors concept and support safety (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) for all.

If you are responsible for a building, it is your legal duty to keep people safe. We recommend this article published by the London Fire Brigade about fire risk assessments in the workplace 👉 https://buff.ly/30J1eXf #commercialfire #fireriskassessment

🤔 If you know anything about fire and life safety, you’ve likely heard of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). 🔥 Today in our blog post, we’re exploring the history of this organization, as well as some of the most important codes to know today.

In the year 2020 for 48 countries of the World: The fire brigades served almost 70 million missions. Of these, 4 million calls were on fires:  - More than 20,700 people died, and more than 70,000 were injured in fires. - There are an average of 20.8 incidents per 1,000 inhabitants (fires - 1.2). - 0.6 fire deaths and 2.1 injuries were registered per 100,000 inhabitants. - For every 100 fires, there were 0.5 deaths and 1.8 injuries   RSVP LAUNCHING OF INTRODUCTION TO FIRE PROTECTION &MANAGEMENT: A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT.

We put together this print-quality poster on the ABCs of fall protection. The ABCs apply when using a PFAS (Personal Fall Arrest System) and PFRS (Personal Fall Restraint System). With PFAS specifically, you'll need to expand the ABCs to ABCDs. The D stands for Decent and Rescue. Always have an emergency rescue plan in place for recovering fallen workers.

We Need Your Help! NIOSH FFFIPP Federal Register Notice for Firefighters and Human Factors The Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program (FFFIPP) conducts independent investigations of firefighter line-of-duty deaths (LODD) and recommends ways to prevent similar deaths and serious injuries. NIOSH is requesting comments about ways to include human factors in our investigations. Comments may include but are not limited to communication, team dynamics, psychological stress, and safety culture, and how these factors impact decision making during fire responses. Comments will be considered to apply a holistic lens into the causes and prevention of fire service LODDs. Submit comments by July 22, 2024.

Closing the care gap in multiple casualty incidents Closing the care gap is important in our quest to maximise survival at a multiple casualty incident and was highlighted in the Manchester Arena bombing enquiry.  Early application of triage by first responders such as security guards, first aiders, fire and police can assist recognise who need our input the most and working towards closing the care gap. SmartTriage™ First Response is an ideal solution, being compact, durable, visible and functional. First responders can carry it on their equipment easily and its practical design will assist them to perform triage in multiple casualty incidents.
