MESSAGE BOARD
HEALTH & SAFETY
The mission of the Community Volunteer Fire Department could never be carried out without protecting the health and safety of our personnel. Although the work we do is inherently dangerous, it is the responsibility of the department to minimize those dangers and provide the safest possible working conditions. The Health & Safety Division identifies risks, provides training, establishes policies, and provides for periodic review to ensure the health and safety of the members and compliance to national standards.
The ultimate goal of the Health & Safety Division is to minimize all occupational accidents, injuries, illnesses, and exposures to hazardous atmospheres and contagious diseases.

DIVISIONS
Incident Safety
The Health & Safety Division has a small group on Incident Safety Officers who respond to major incidents where they monitor and assess hazards and unsafe situations to ensure safe operations to efficiently mitigate the emergency incident.
Infection Control
The department's Health & Safety Officer acts as the Designated Infection Control Officer (DICO) to serve as a liaison between members who have sustained exposures to communicable diseases.
Member Assistance Program
The Member Assistance Program provides confidential counseling, guidance, and referral services to help members in resolving personal problems that may be adversely affecting their performance, such as emotional problems or substance/alcohol abuse.
Health & Safety Division Leadership
Reporting to the Assistant Fire Chief, the Health & Safety division is overseen by Interim HSO Cory Cannella
