Study Notes

Developing a Training Schedule

  • Agency training needs assessment should be performed by department administration for scheduling
  • Assess regulatory compliance topics for schedule inclusion
  • Topics prioritized based on skills/knowledge needed for safety, mission statement, and job descriptions
  • Departments have specific regulatory issues; some issues are universal
  • Training requirements often specified by agencies (e.g., Insurance Service Office (ISO))
  • ISO has training requirements for initial and ongoing training of firefighters and vehicle operators
  • ISO requirements can impact department operations, ratings may be improved with effective training
  • Consult local ISO representatives to understand training requirements for ratings
  • OSHA training requirements should be considered (respiratory protection, infectious disease)
  • OSHA enforcement authority varies by state (OSHA states)
  • Contact local OSHA representatives for training requirements
  • Fines/sanctions for noncompliance with OSHA requirements

Scheduling of Instruction

  • Fire and Emergency Services Instructor II should consider department operations when developing training schedules
  • Comprehensive schedules include all job areas and cover initial and ongoing training
  • Training schedules must balance regulatory requirements with training sessions for effective fire fighter service
  • Regulatory requirements for training include emergency medical services (EMS) recertification, hazardous materials training
  • Ongoing skill/knowledge retention and refresher trainings are important for scheduling
  • Scheduling training can be challenging, especially in part-time/volunteer departments (time constraints, member commitments)
