OSHA PAIN POINT #10: Let OSHA know how the proposed Emergency Response Standard will impact your department! Here is one ‘pain point’ that you can address in your comment.OSHA’s Proposed Rule: All fire chiefs must receive NFPA1021 Fire Officer III training.The Pain Point: The Fire Officer III certification is only offered in approximately 25 states. Chief officers would face significant hardship in getting the required training and certification. Unpaid volunteer chiefs or part-time chiefs would be required to take classes on weekdays when they have to take time off from their full-time jobs, or they would have to travel long distances to night and weekend classes.Tell OSHA: The cost of accessing NFPA1021 Fire Officer III training will place a financial burden on volunteers. In most cases, this class is not offered on a schedule that is friendly for volunteers. Many volunteer officers will be required to travel to a state where they can receive training, taking time away from their primary job and requiring funds that are often not available. All required training must be widely accessible and, when possible, virtually available.Find more resources, including a template comment letter, at: www.nvfc.org/osha-standardSubmit your comments by July 22 here: bit.ly/3KTKqTD...
