Authority: Fire Rescue Administrator
Scope: Applies to all Palm Beach County Fire Rescue personnel.

Task Book Request

Employees seeking BFST certification must request approval through the Professional Development Coordinator (PDC) in the Training and Safety Division.

Task Book Demonstration

A Qualified Evaluator (Lieutenant or higher rank, BFST Instructor I or higher) oversees the candidate's performance.
The Evaluator documents observations and signs off on each task.
Observations are documented on the Fire Rescue training log program using the Fire Rescue Task Book Completion Form.
Employees are responsible for ensuring they have a Qualified Evaluator. If not, seek guidance from the PDC, using command structure.

After all Qualified Evaluator signatures, the employee contacts the PDC VIA email.
The Training and Safety Division verifies:
- Proper documentation on the Fire Rescue training log program.
- Evaluators hold necessary credentials.
The Division Chief of Training and Safety (or designee) signs the BFST Task Book Form.
A copy of the signed form goes to the Compliance Officer and employee.

- Employee initiated task book without authorization.
- Signatures from unqualified evaluators.
- Signature of Fire Chief, Agency Head or Designee obtained from the wrong person.
- Incomplete task book submitted on the Fire Rescue training log program.
