Hey guys, so for the PAT, do I have to shave my beard off? I don’t have anything crazy but a regular 1 inch beard all around? I keep it neat, short, and tidy but I have it for religious purposes. Must I shave the beard im order to participate in the PAT? Thanks in advance!
Hey guys, I was disqualified and appealed a while back for Exam 9014. Appeal was accepted and got a letter to complete the PAT in two weeks. Any advice or suggestions? And when do you think the next academy for 9014 will start? Thanks in advance!
Thanks brother! And no, I actually got it like two and a half or three weeks ago. I appealed approximately three days after. I hope we all get a list number soon!
Thank you guys for your response! I did think that being clean shaven was an OSHA requirement and it seems that I am wrong. AND yeahhh Hatzolah is one EMS company that I see allows facial hair openly. However, I am not jewish. That does not mean I am not willing to work for them!! I just hope...
Ya I am unsure. I know a medic who works for FDNY and he has to be completely shaven for OSHA mask seal regulations. I don't know whether or not hospital based EMS has the same policy. But thanks man! I have no idea why it never crossed my mind to call them haha
Are there any 911 EMS companies in NYC that accept facial hair due to religious concerns?
I would like to work for a hospital and not a transport service such as SeniorCare. Does NYU or Mount Sinia allow beards for Paramedics? Not a long beard. Maybe about an inch or two in length? Thanks in...
