Summary
What are the real liabilities associated with training fire and EMS personnel? Sure, there’s lots of theoretical ways that personnel and organizations can get sued for training-related matters, but how is the fire service actually being sued? And what role can training play in reducing a fire department’s overall liability? Curt Varone will look at liability when it comes to firefighter training in this new webinar. With recent proposals to OSHA’s standard for fire departments, learn how this standard could impact your training responsibilities and requirements.
Speakers
