The second macroarea also goes down in detail on the dangers for the health and the safety of the fireman workers with relief for the formation and for the operational procedures.
With this organization of the problem it is tried to arrive to characterize better the factors to improve for having a surest condition of job of the firemen and therefore more effective benefit for the help to the citizen.
In details the matters to deepen are:
- Accidents and professional diseases
- Training during the career
- Health care training
- Firefighting equipment
- Health checks
- Minimum physical characteristics
- Fire fighting procedures
In the later appraisals of the accidents and the professional diseases, the studies are not univocal, but sure the maintenance of the physical state covers a great relief, especially after the 40 years of age; on this clearly influence the psycho-physical training and the alimentary regimen.
With the necessary deepening and periodical checks can be put in evidence from the sanitaries the workers at risk for one corrected prevention von psychological-physical diseases of irreparable damages.
Demanded parameters for the assumption in the National Fire Department are not fixed in the time not only for the aid equipment progress, but also above all for appraisal modifications of psico - physical characteristics. Unfortunately an optimal appraisal doesn’t meet with the costs and the economic budget reductions.
Other crucial factor for the accidents reduction and the professional diseases is the corrected personal equipment and use of it and of all the individual protection devices. The equipment standard comprises uniforms, complete antiflame, shoes and boots job of various types, gloves of varied type, elm with visor, under elm, centurion; apart from this for the specific participations and for the specialized workers exist differentiated personal equipments.
Very important are the protection devices of the respiratory ways ( masks with filter), which are not more closely personal, but they follow a cycle of control and much accurate hygiene . Another important factor to consider find man in the formation course beginning from the assumption and going on during all the career, in adding to the training procedures. In Italy, a course finalized to the assumption and a course for every passage of level are foreseen, moreover are foreseen course for the admission in the specialist, specific activities and refresher course.
All this is not always simple and linear, but the understandings are in this direction.
In the working hours the every day training is indicated also, but this part not always is put into effect for problems of organic, necessity of daily rescue activity or other contingent reasons. Not to forget at last the predisposition and correct utilize of the application procedures for the fight against the fire. These factors need of a sure elasticity, but they turn out decisive in the situations of complex scenes of emergency.
The procedures once predisposed go however continuously tested and eventually modified.
