  • Wildland Fire Management: Uniform Crew T-Shirts Within Bureau of Land
    Wildland Fire Management: Uniform crew t-shirts within Bureau of Land Management Fire and Aviation Management programs By: Jeffrey L. Fedrizzi Oregon-Washington State Office of Fire and Aviation Management U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Portland, Oregon 2 Uniform crew t-shirts within Bureau of Land Management Fire and Aviation Management programs CERTIFICATION STATEMENT I hereby certify that this paper constitutes my own product, that where the language of others is set forth, quotation marks so indicate, and that appropriate credit is given where I have used the language, ideas, expressions, or writings of another. Signed: __________________________________ 3 Uniform crew t-shirts within Bureau of Land Management Fire and Aviation Management programs Abstract Uniforms help create an identity, pride in appearance, and an esprit de corps essential to an effective organization. Wearing a uniform affects individual behavior including self-discipline, integrity, and organizational ownership. This applied research project’s problem statement is Bureau of Land Management (BLM) policy neither provides for nor funds the purchase of fire crew uniform t-shirts. The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not agency-provided uniform fire crew t-shirts are necessary and, if so, what type would be most appropriate to recommend for a policy change within the BLM. The evaluative method of research was used for the following research questions: 1. What is the importance of uniforms within the fire service? 2. What are firefighters’ preferred materials for fire crew uniform t-shirts within the interagency fire service community? 3. What is BLM manual policy for general staff and law enforcement uniforms? 4.

Occupational Risks and Hazards Associated with Firefighting by Laura Walker A report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Industrial Hygiene Distance Learning / Professional Track Montana Tech of the University of Montana 2016 This page intentionally left blank. 1 Abstract Annually about 100 firefighters die in the line duty, in the United States. Firefighters know it is a hazardous occupation. Firefighters know the only way to reduce the number of deaths is to change the way the firefighter (FF) operates. Changing the way a firefighter operates starts by utilizing traditional industrial hygiene tactics, anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling the hazard. Basic information and history of the fire service is necessary to evaluate FF hazards. An electronic survey was distributed to FFs. The first question was, “What are the health and safety risks of a firefighter?” Hypothetically heart attacks and new style construction would rise to the top of the survey data.

Miller, State Fire Marshal Licensing and Regulatory Affairs MIKE ZIMMER RICK SNYDER DIRECTOR GOVERNOR STATE OF MICHIGAN RICK SNYDER DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS MIKE ZIMMER GOVERNOR DIRECTOR BUREAU OF FIRE SERVICES RICHARD W. MILLER STATE FIRE MARSHAL Governor Rick Snyder PO Box 30013 Lansing, Ml 48909 Honorable Governor Snyder: I am pleased to present the Bureau of Fire Services (Bureau) FY14 Annual Report. The Bureau improved its service to customers by implementing many changes in response to the Office of Auditor General’s performance audit and recommendations. These changes included implementation of lean process improvements (RPM) that eliminated unnecessary steps, provided more timely inspections, uniformity and consistency in reporting across regions, eliminated redundant forms, updated rules, and developed scorecard metrics. Online payment arrangements were implemented for multiple programs within the Bureau, which provided customers with a more accurate and timely billing and payment process. To better address fire safety protection for Michigan citizens, an ad hoc committee chaired by the State Fire Marshal, submitted its report advocating for the implementation of a Statewide Single Fire Code, as recommended by the Office of Regulatory Reinvention. The Bureau was awarded a first-ever $500,000 Assistance to Firefighter Grant, available only to state agencies. This significant award provided the funding to help support the Bureau’s IT needs which included new software and hardware upgrades. Our IT capabilities will be further enhanced when multiple state agencies that the Bureau interfaces with migrates to the same software.
