United States Fire Administration: New Manual Helps Departments Develop an EMS Safety Program

 Posted: June 2, 2022


The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) EMS Safety Practices manual outlines how to develop a safety program that covers all aspects of EMS operations to prepare for, prevent, mitigate and respond to all hazards. It covers safety regulations and guidelines while also emphasizing the importance of developing a culture of safety in the organization including, but not limited to:


Developing a culture of safety. Including the maintenance of effective communication between leadership and practitioners to promote shared decision-making about personnel safety.


Maintaining physical and mental health. Each year, thousands of EMS providers visit the emergency department due to physical injuries. Additionally, about 85% of first responders indicated that they have experienced symptoms of mental health issues. The manual provides recommendations to reduce the burden of physical injuries and encourages employees to seek out appropriate resources and support.


Training on how to deal with infectious disease agents and hazardous materials. This manual provides a review of the data from recent scientific literature, with evidence-based recommendations and suggested best practices on how to control infectious disease agents and hazardous materials.


Improving situational awareness. EMS responders work in unpredictable environments. This manual offers information on a variety of scenarios, including the response to, and de-escalation of, violent patient scenarios, to help reduce the risk of common physical injuries and lost days of work among EMS practitioners.


Mitigating traffic safety issues. Regarding fatalities and potential liability, transportation is among the riskiest activities for EMS workers. This manual cites initiatives underway to mitigate risk factors, including, but not limited to, the USFA’s Emergency Vehicle and Roadway Operations Safety Program and the Emergency Vehicle Safety Program, in partnership with the International Association of Firefighters.

Enhancing Resources for Better Health Among EMS Personnel

Drexel University Dornsife School of Public Health 


September 2, 2020


Priyatham Kurapati is a second-year MPH student at the Dornsife School of Public Health within the department of Environmental and Occupational Health. When his journey in the public health world began, Kurapati was initially interested in how climate change and environmental hazards could impact health. Now after having completed year one of his MPH program with many interdisciplinary courses, his interests have expanded to include mental/behavioral health, substance use and abuse, and infectious disease.


To gain more experience in these areas, Kurapati pursued an Applied Practical Experience (APE) at a company that could accommodate this goal. He chose to intern over the summer at RPM Solutions Group, Inc., a consulting firm that provides a wide range of professional management services to public, private, and nonprofit organizations....


At RPM, Kurapati was joined by fellow MPH student, Mariah Menanno. Together, they conducted a comprehensive review of an existing safety guide for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel and identified areas for evidence-informed improvements.
