Deputy Chief Burnette and the Roswell Fire Department Training Division encourage all personnel to follow the attached Safety Week Schedule during 2010 Fire/EMS Safety, Health and Survival Week June 20-26, 2010.
What is Safety, Health and Survival Week?
Safety, Health and Survival Week (Safety Week) is a collaborative program sponsored by the IAFC and the IAFF, coordinated by the IAFC Safety, Health and Survival Section and the IAFF Division of Occupational Health, Safety and Medicine, in partnership with more than 20 national fire service organizations.
Fire departments are encouraged to suspend all non-emergency activity during Safety Week and instead focus entirely on safety, health and wellness-related training and education until all shifts and personnel have taken part. An entire week is provided to ensure each shift and duty crew can spend one day focusing on these critical issues.
