Abstract

emergency responders, as defined by police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel, are often exposed to potential hazards within their work, due to the very nature of their work. Many of these people are heroes in that they willingly sacrifice their lives for the altruistic benefit of others. The potential for occupational injury, be it physical or mental, is quite real and significant, any members of the first responder community are exposed to threats to their safety on a regular basis. It is critical that the safety and health of the emergency personnel which serve us is safeguarded.
