NIOSH Alert: Request for Assistance in Preventing Injuries and Deaths of Fire Fighters Due to Structural Collapse
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requests assistance in preventing injuries and deaths of U.S. fire fighters due to structural collapse during fire-fighting operations. Structural collapse of a building during fire fighting is a leading cause of death among fire fighters. Such collapse is very difficult to predict during fire fighting, and it usually occurs without warning. Fire departments should implement and review occupational safety programs and standard operating procedures to prevent serious injuries and deaths of fire fighters. NIOSH recommends that fire departments take 10 essential steps to minimize the risk of injury and death to fire fighters during structural fire fighting.
