I havn't been using the seatbelt as much as I should however I'm going to implement the mandatory rule of wearing the seatbelt. It is the only way to go now and the operator of the vehicle is legally responsible for the safety of all persons riding on the apparatus.
This week's fireschool, I'm going to have members practice donning an scba whth a seatbelt properly in place.
I want to improve my habbits and safety as well as ensuring the safety of my guys.

NATHAN,

GO TO EVERYONE GOES HOME LIFE SAFETY INITIATIVES RESOURCE KIT... THE LATEST ONE IS #4.. IT SHOULD BE ON THEIR WEB SITE. GREAT RESOURCE FOR SPREADING THE 16 LIFE SAFETY INITIATIVES.. AND RELATED SAFETY ISSUES.

GREAT SEATBELT INFO IS INCLUDED. YOU CAN VIEW PART OR ALL OF THE TRAINING INFO ON SEATBELTS... INCLUDING THE DENVER FIRE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO THAT COVERS IT IN DETAIL.. CHECK IT OUT.. SOME OF OUR GUYS ARE RESISTANT TO THIS CHANGE,,, BUT MOST DONT RIDE THE RIG ANYWAY. THEY RESPOND POV AND DON THIER GEAR AT THE SCENE... THAT IS JUST PRIOR TO STARTING THE BITCH AND GRIPE SESSION AT NEARLY EVER INCIDENT THEY HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF PARTICIPATING IN AND SOME ONE IS THERE TO LISTEM TO THEIR CRAP..

THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE IN THIS TRAINING INFO... WEAR YOUR BELT... AND HERE'S HOW...HOPE YOU SHARE IT WITH YOUR WHOLE OUTFIT AS I DID.
