Chapter 12 Flashcards
Level II instructors are encouraged to provide realistic situations that resemble actual emergencies while still maximizing safety.
12
In addition to instructors incorporating safety measures into the training curriculum, changes in organizational policy can reduce training accidents.
12
Train firefighters and emergency responders to recognize the visual and physical clues of impending danger and anticipate fire behavior in a variety of building types.
12
To reduce the risks to personnel, all fire and emergency services organizations regulated by NFPA standards must have a risk-management plan.
12
NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety, Health and Wellness Program, provides detailed guidelines for developing a risk management plan.
12
An essential element for planning live-fire training is NFPA 1403.
12
Casualties may be caused by conditions in the physical environment that were not considered as potential hazards.
12
Normalization of deviance can compromise safety over time.
12
When deviating from SOPs becomes the normal behavior, the value of the SOPs becomes marginalized.
12
Human factors generally lead to unsafe behavior in fire and emergency services training.
12
To prevent normalization of deviance, instructors should immediately address unsafe behaviors.
12
Students may perceive some safety procedures as unnecessary, perhaps because the tactics have been so well-practiced.
12
A hazard and risk analysis identifies potential problem areas and is the foundation for any risk-management plan.
12
When creating a lesson plan for skills training, instructors perform a task analysis to determine the necessary tasks and their order.
12
Ideally, all hazards are addressed as high priorities, but prioritizing hazards is often a necessity imposed by limited resources.
