Training opportunity - cardiovascular disease in firefighters
Cardiovascular Disease in the US Fire Service:
Past, Present and Future
The New England College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine Presents
September 16, 2010
Newton Marriott Hotel
2345 Commonwealth Ave, Newton, MA
For directions, visit www.newtonmarriott.com
6:00 pm social hour,
7:00 to 9:00 pm, dinner and speaker
Guest Speaker:
Stefanos N. Kales, MD, MPH, FACP, FACOEM
Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School &
Harvard School of Public Health
Director, Occupational Medicine Residency, HSPH
Summary
On-duty morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease constitute a major problem among firefighters, including, including on-duty deaths and disability retirements. Moreover, acute events and chronic health problems experienced by firefighters weaken their capacity to protect public safety and respond to emergency situations.
Cardiovascular disease has been a long-standing problem in the US fire service, historically accounting for 45% of on-duty deaths over the last three decades. Surprisingly, however, early cohort morbidity studies were never able to establish an increased risk of cardiovascular disease among firefighters.
Over 10 years ago, Dr. Kales’ team began performing clinical and epidemiologic research on the above-described issues, taking different approaches to address both underlying personal risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemias, as well as occupational factors related to disability retirement, and on-duty cardiovascular disease events. As a result, they have published landmark studies describing the occupational and medical factors that contribute to on-duty coronary heart disease (CHD) events.
During this session, Dr. Kales will review the past studies and the current state of the science with respect to the interaction of multiple occupational hazards and pre-existing pathology in the development of on-duty heart disease events. Several evidence-based ideas for preventing cardiovascular disease and on-duty events among firefighters and other emergency personnel will be reviewed, as well as future directions from ongoing research.
Objectives
1) Learn temporal and duty-related risks for heart disease in the fire service
2) Become aware of CVD risk factors and pre-existing disease as predictors
3) Discuss Risk Stratification and management of risk
4) Evaluate Physical Activity and Cardio-Respiratory Fitness as protective factors

Seminar Suicide Intervention & Prevention: What EMTS and Firefighters should know
Sponsored by Community Health Network Area 9 and Luk, Inc.
Funded by the MA Department of Public Health
Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act
SAMSHA Grant # U79SM57402-05
SUICIDE INTERVENTION & PREVENTION:
WHAT EMTS AND FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD KNOW
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 2010
Pre-registration required for this free workshop. Deadline to register is Friday, September 3, by 4:00 pm.
Location: City Hall Auditorium, 25 West Street, Leominster
Registration/coffee: 0830-0900
Program: 0900-1515, lunch is included
Approved by MA OEMS for 5 EMT continuing education hours at all levels.
Program Description: Every year, more than 30,000 Americans take their own lives. Another 500,000 visit emergency rooms for self-inflicted injuries. EMTs are frequently called to respond to these deaths and injuries. Suicides and suicide attempts take an emotional toll beyond those of unintentional injuries. Any sudden death is a shock to the family and friends of the deceased, as well as to bystanders and EMS personnel. The shock to family and friends is compounded when the death/injury is self-inflicted, provoking strong emotional reactions.
Appropriate response of EMTs and First Responders in these situations can make a difference for the family and friends of a person who attempted or completed suicide. The patient with self-inflicted injuries may be confused and distraught, requiring both medical and emotional support. Simultaneously, responding to these challenging situations can also take a toll on the emotional health of professional rescuers.
In this workshop Dr. Feldman will discuss the role of EMTs in prevent
ing suicide, provide a foundation for understanding suicidal behavior, present information and communication techniques important for responding to suicide calls, discuss the impact of suicide calls on EMTs and suggest intervention techniques for suicidal behavior involving EMS personnel. The workshop will be interactive and incorporate material to facilitate participation by attendees.
Registration: To register, please contact Marie Zbikowski, Suicide Prevention Coordinator, by phone or email, no later than Friday, September 3 at 4:00 pm. Please register early. You will receive confirmation. A wait-list will be established.

USFA & IAFF Develop Best Practices for Emergency Vehicle and Roadway Operations Safety
USFA and the International Association of Fire Fighters Develop Best Practices for Emergency Vehicle and Roadway Operations Safety
August 24, 2010
USFA Media Contact:
(301) 447-1853
Emmitsburg, MD – The United States Fire Administration (USFA), in partnership with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), announces the release of Best Practices for Emergency Vehicle and Roadway Operations Safety which highlights the results of a U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice (NIJ) supported initiative to enhance emergency vehicle and roadway operations safety for firefighters and law enforcement officers.
“With vehicle crashes and emergency responders being struck on the roadway being a major cause of on-duty fatalities, it is important for all first responders to avail themselves of these programs to reduce this tragic cause of death,” said Acting U.S. Fire Administrator Glenn A. Gaines. “We are grateful for the U.S. Department of Justice’s support of this emergency vehicle and roadway safety initiative which benefits the fire service and law enforcement alike.”
“The number of law enforcement officers and firefighters killed in vehicle crashes and as the result of being struck by vehicles as they work at the roadside is disturbing and unacceptable,” said IAFF General President Harold A. Schaitberger. “The purpose of this program is to provide information to all emergency responders that will make their jobs safer.”
The goal of this project is to provide a basic guide for all law enforcement officers and firefighters to improve their level of safety at work. The document discusses training, policy development, education, and technology to enhance emergency vehicle and roadway safety operations.
Best Practices for Emergency Vehicle and Roadway Operations Safety is available on the IAFF’s website.
Further information on USFA’s emergency vehicle and roadway operations safety projects may be found on the USFA’s website.
