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
