The Case for Situational Awareness Thermal Imaging Devices: Each year firefighters are injured and killed in structure fires. One of the common recommendations that could have prevented these injuries and deaths is the proper usage of thermal imaging cameras in these situations. However, the following facts will be hard to fight against in a court of law when a municipality fails to provide these life saving devices and/or training: * The lack of TIC usage is the 6th ranked risk factor in firefighter line of duty deaths. * 18.2% of all fire-ground injuries occurred from being lost or disoriented in a fire. * In the line of duty deaths that were studied up to 2010, the TIC was left on the charger of the fire truck in 38% of all these incidents. * NFPA 1408 (The thermal imaging training standard for firefighters) requires that the authority having jurisdiction shall provide training prior to placing these units in service, shall provide individual, team, and group training in classroom and live fire, and shall have written policies addressing training and usage of these devices during emergency incidents. To reference this data, please refer to the following research papers: * Maximizing Thermal Imaging Usage in Emergency Services by Michael Whitty In addition to this data, the work of Don Abbot’s Project MAY DAY shows the following: 22% of May Days Lost, Separated from Hose-line Learn more about the value of a situational awareness TIC in our FREE webinar by Seek Thermal https://lnkd.in/e6kmt2Zr

Why do we need to keep a safe distance from excavated areas? Keeping a safe distance from excavated areas is important for several reasons: 1. Safety: Excavation sites can be hazardous due to the risk of cave-ins, collapses, or falling debris. Keeping a safe distance reduces the chances of accidents and injuries. 2. Preventing Damage: Approaching too closely to an excavation site can damage the stability of the trench or hole, potentially leading to further structural issues. 3. Equipment Hazards: Heavy machinery and equipment are often used in excavation work. Staying at a safe distance helps avoid accidents involving these machines. 4. Compliance: Many safety regulations and guidelines mandate specific safety zones around excavation sites to protect workers and the public. 5. Unknown Hazards: Excavated areas may contain hidden utilities, such as gas or electrical lines, which could pose dangers if disturbed. In summary, maintaining a safe distance from excavated areas is essential to protect lives, prevent damage, and ensure compliance with safety regulations. #roadsafety #carsafety #safetyculture #safetyawareness #safetyprofessionals #hseengineer #hseprofessionals #hazardcommunications #hazardidentification #riskassessment #riskmanagement #safetyatwork #safetyengineer #hsecompetency #hsecompetence #logisticssafety #operationalexcellence #operationssafety #hsesupervisor #safetysupervisor #safetycompliance #safetyexcellence #continuousimprovement #safetytips #safetymanagementsystems #safetymanagement #safetymatters #safetycontrols #hazardsandeffects
