Leveraging the TargetSolutions Platform to Track OSHA Training Compliance Records
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) proposed revisions to 40-year-old federal firefighter safety standards have sparked significant concern in the fire service, especially for volunteer fire departments, raising the alarm on the future of firefighter recruitment, retention, and leadership.
Download this webinar video as we discuss OSHA’s upcoming requirement changes for firefighter training, the potential impact on both new and seasoned firefighters, as well as how to track OSHA training with the TargetSolutions platform.
Key topics we covered include:
- Increased Training Hours: Understand the implications of the potential jump from 68 to 197 required hours to become a basic firefighter, and how this impacts volunteer firefighters’ time commitments.
- Command Staff Training Prerequisites: Learn about the intensified training requirements at each command staff level and how this may affect leadership within departments.
- Recruitment and Retention Challenges: Discuss the potential hurdles the new regulations pose for attracting and retaining firefighters, and the anticipated impact on department staffing.
- Physical Disqualification Risks: Assess the physical demands of mandatory training and the potential disqualification of older, experienced firefighters.
This webinar aims to provide actionable strategies and best practices on how Vector Solutions can help your department navigate OSHA’s potential changes, mitigate negative impacts, and track OSHA training records.
