Over the past decade, numerous law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services (EMS) workers were injured or killed along roadways throughout the United States. In 2008, as with the prior 10 years, more law enforcement officers died in traffic-related incidents than from any other cause; National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial (NLEOM, 2008) over the past 12 years, an average of one officer per month was struck and killed by a vehicle in the United States. (FBI, 2007) Preliminary firefighter fatality statistics for 2008 reflect 29 of 114 firefighters killed on duty perished in motor vehicle crashes, (USFA, 2009a) similar to figures posted in previous years. According to a 2002 study that aggregated data from several independent sources, at least 67 EMS providers were killed in ground transportation-related events over the 6 years from 1992 to 1997. These sobering facts clearly demonstrate the importance of addressing vehicle characteristics and human factors for reducing the morbidity and mortality of public safety personnel operating along the Nation's highways and byways. Studies conducted in the United States and elsewhere suggest that increasing emergency vehicle visibility and conspicuity holds promise for enhancing first responders' safety when exposed to traffic both inside and outside their response vehicles (e.g., patrol cars, motorcycles, fire apparatus, and ambulances). This report, produced in partnership between the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) and the International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA), with support from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), analyzes emergency vehicle visibility and conspicuity with an eye toward expanding efforts in these areas to improve vehicle and roadway operations safety for all emergency responders. Emphasis in this report is placed on passive visibility/conspicuity treatments; additional studies are underway on active technologies such as emergency vehicle warning lighting systems. A number of key findings were developed from the examination performed for this report. Principal among these findings is the salient need for additional research on emergency vehicle visibility and conspicuity in the United States. Despite meaningful limitations, the existing visibility/conspicuity research, combined with passenger vehicle lighting and human factors, evokes several potential opportunities for improving the safety of emergency vehicles in the United States using readily available products.

There has to be accountability at every level of the organization from the chief to the rookie. Company officers have to step up and remind those under their command of safe operations and related procedures. Accountability at all levels is key to the success of any program, and it’s the key to survival when it comes to firefighter safety. Chief Ron Kanterman's Fire Officer's Guide to Occupational Safety & Health is a guide to safe operations and a healthy work force. Who needs this book? Fire chiefs, fire officers, incident safety officers, and health and safety officers Why? To gain the tools they need to operate the department within some acceptable parameters of safety and occupational health Ask yourself these questions: --Have you made firefighter safety and health a primary value of your organization? --Is there a culture of safety in your fire department? --Do the chief and line officers "walk the walk" and "talk the talk"? Key concepts and resources: --Risk management --Personnel protection (protecting the protectors) --Scene safety --The 16 Life Safety Initiatives and The Courage to be Safe/Everyone Goes Home program --Training --Occupational safety and health --Fitness --Codes and standards that dictate and/or assist within the genre of health and safety
