On February 5, 2024, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), that will provide the first update to the Fire Brigade Standards published 44 years ago. The comment period for the Proposed Rule will close on June 21, 2024, and will significantly impact Fire, EMS, and Technical Rescue organizations.
Join the AAA’s HR & Operations Consultant, Scott Moore, as well as an expert panel for an overview of the Proposed Rule’s new requirements which include additional administrative obligations, job-related training, physical and mental health, and initial and ongoing assessments for emergency response employees. While the Proposed Rule has not been finalized, it is clear that OSHA is committed to addressing the safety in EMS organizations.
