Firefighter Safety & District Governance

How should the District verify required safety programs and empower an independent Health and Safety Officer?

The report finds several required safety programs or their documentation deficient and recommends annual compliance verification plus designation of a Health and Safety Officer who is neither the Fire Chief nor a Board member.

Why this matters

Assigned responsibility and recurring documentation can make safety requirements visible, reduce gaps in training records, and support correction before an emergency.
