I am an EMS line officer for a fire-based medical response, first responder service. I have found that many states, as well as the NFPA are requiring health and safety activities to become more commonplace. For example, I am required by my state to maintain a policy that reduces risk for injury relating to lifting, moving,etc.
What sorts of training, activities does your department require for injury prevention, and wellness? How supportive are your old salts (your high command, the ancient people, and the old school guys) of fitness requirements? Also, let me know if you are volunteer or paid, and if you are fire based/EMS service based.
