PHYSICIAN EMPLOYMENT PHYSICAL SERVICES AT FACHMEtIT D yright C 2000 NFPA, All Rights Reserved NTPA 1582 Standard on Medical Requirements for Fire Fighters and Information for Fire Department Physicians 2000 Edition s edition of A 1582, Standard on for FirerDepar"nent PhyYuial, was prepared by the Technical Commee on Fire Se ce Occu- pational Medical and Health, and acted on by the National Fire Protection Association, Inc., at its November Meeting held November I4-17, 1999. in New Orleans, IA It was issued by the Standards Council on January 14, 2000. with an effective date of February 11, 2000, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1582 was approved as an American National Standard on February 11, 2000. Origin and Development of NFPA 1582 Ajoint task force of members representing both the Technical Committees on Fire Service Occupational Safety and health and File Fighter Professional Qualifications began address- ing medical requirements for fire fighters in March 1988. A standing subcommittee on Med- ical/Physical Requirements for Fire Fighters was created under the Fire Service Occupational Safety and Health Committee in 1990 and was responsible for the development of NFPA 1582. This new document covered the medical requirements necessary for persons who perform fire -fighting tasks. Medical requirements that were previously contained in Section 2-2 of NFPA 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qual�%atio u, applied only to the entry level. They were deleted from NFPA 1001. Legal opinion and federal laws show that requirements set for a position must apply to anyone who would be or is in that position. These medical requirements are therefore intended to apply to candidates as well as to current fire fighters. Two categories of medical conditions were created, Categories A and B. Category A repre- sented conditions that, if they exist in the candidate or current fire fighter, would not allow this person to perform fire -fighting operations. Category B conditions must be evaluated on a case -by -case basis so that the fire department physician can determine if the medical condi- tion in a particular candidate orcurrent fire fighter would prevent that person from perform- ing fire -fighting operations. Medical evaluations, medical examinations, record keeping, and confidentiality were addressed in Chapter 2. Chapter 9 contained the actual medical conditions that comprise the requirements. Extensive advisory and informational material was developed in the appendixes to aid fire department administrators and fire department physicians. The committee completed its work in January 1992, and the first edition was presented to the Association membership at the 1992 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. The second edition of this standard reflected the numerous changes in medical technol- ogy that have impacted structural fire fighters. The technical committee was assisted by phy- sicians whose expertise covered the areas of emergency medicine; vision; haring; and cardiac, Pulmonary, neurological, and metabolic conditions. The technical committee endeavored to update six critical areas and moved some of the previous Category A text to Category B. They then enhanced some of the Category A material that would prohibit an individual from being hired or to continue as a fire fighter. The com- mittee also added additional appendix text in the areas of ADA requirements, explanatory material for both fire department administrators and fire department physicians, and sample physician checklist forms. Additional explanatory material was added or enhanced to provide the user with addi- tional information regarding medical conditions whose categories were changed. These included a number of cardiac conditions, diabetic conditions, seizure disorders, asthma, and therapeutic anti -coagulation. 1582_1 1582-2 MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS .AND INFORMATION FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT PH-njCi k S The 2000 edition of this standard reflects (1) the technical committee's recognition that medical technology is continually changing and (2) the committee's effort to incorporate those medical technology changes within the standard. Just as the committee recognizes med- ical technology advances, it is incumbent on the fire department to communicate with the fire department physician changes in the essential function(s) the fire department performs. t- Conversely, the fire department physician must keep the fire department updated on the lat- est changes in the medical field. Fire department physicians are the primary users of NFP.4 1582. Committee members feel that allowing the fire department physician more latitude in determination of a member's ability to perform essential functions will assist users in enforcing the standard. Therefore, the committee has changed the title of the standard to �IFP.4 1582, SGtndard art L(tdicaf Rirluire� c mint for Fi a Fighters and In for Fire Department Physicians . The topic of incident scene rehabilitation and accountability are included in this edition, since the fire department physician may provide guidance or assistance at the rehabilitation unit. In addition, specific areas concerning the following conditions were clarified or expanded: cardiac, vision, hearing, neurological, and metabolic. An appendix was added to this edition comparing the requirements of this standard with those of 29 CFR 1910.134, the OSHA respiratory protection regulation. There are many users }• of both documents, and this appendix clarifies the companion areas of each. .1 20M Editian CO%I,%frl7EE PERSONNEL Technical Committee on Fire Service Occupational Medical and Health Murrey E.

A-1-2.2 There is a direct relationship between the medical requirements and the job description of members. The job description should include all essentialjob functions of mem- bers, both emergency and nonemergencv. Members perform a variety of emergency operations including fire fighting, emerg-ricv medical care, hazardous materials midLrnion, and special operations. Nonemergency duties can include, and are not limited to, training, station and vehicle maintenance, and physical fitness. Each fire department needs to identify and develop a written job description for members. appendix C. Essential Fire -Fighting Functions, provides an example of essential job functions for members. A-1-3.2 The specific determination of the authority having jurisdiction depends on the mechanism under which this stan- dard is adopted and enforced. Where this standard is adopted voluntarily by a particular fire department for its own tue, the authority having jurisdiction should be the fire chief or the political entity that is responsible for the operation of the Fire department. Where this standard is legally adopted and enforced by a body having regulatory authority over a fire department, such as federal. state, or local government or political subdivision, this body is responsible for making those determinations as the authority having jurisdiction. The com- pliance program should take into account the services the fire department is required to provide, the financial resources available to the fire department, the availability of personnel, the availability of trainers, and such other factors as will affect the fire department's ability to achieve compliance. A-14.1 Approved. The National Fire Protection Association does not approve, inspect, or certify any installations, proce- dures, equipment, or materials; nor does it approve or evalu- ate testing laboratories. In determining the acceptability of installations, procedures, equipment, or materials, the author- ity having jurisdiction may base acceptance on compliance with V"FPA or other appropriate standards. In the absence of such standards, said authority may require evidence of proper installation, procedure, or use. The authority having jurisdic- tion may also refer to the listings or labeling practices of an organization that is concerned with product evaluations and is thus in a position to determine compliance with appropriate standards for the current production of listed items. A-14.2 Authority Having Jurisdiction. The phrase "authority having jurisdiction" is used in NFPA documents in a broad manner, since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their responsibilities. Where public safety is primary, the authority having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local. or other regional department or individual such as a fire chief; fire marshal: chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor depart- ment, or health department; building official-, electrical inspector: or others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the author- ity having jurisdiction. In many circumstances, the property owner or his or her designated agent assumes the role of the authority having jurisdiction; at government installations, the �.

A-14.3 Candidate. In an employment context, the Ameri- cans with Disabilities .act (discussed in further detail in Appen- dix M requires that anv medical examination to be conducted take place after an offer of emplovmenr is made and prior to the commencement of dimes. Therefore, in the emplotment context, the definition of the term candidalc should be .tpplied so as to be consistent with that requirement. Volunteer members have been deemed to be emplovees in some states orjuriidictions. Volunteer fire departments should seek legal counsel as to their legal responsibilities in these matters. A-14.20 Member. See appendix C. Essential Stnrctural Fire - Fighting Functions. A-2-1.1 .See appendix D. Guide for Fire DepartmentAdmints- u-ators. A-2.1.5 Exposures and medical conditions that should be reported if they can interfere with the ability of the individual to perform as a member include, but are nut limited to, the fol lowing: A-2-5.4 Physical therapv, strength training, work hardening, functional capacity evaluations. and alternate duty are all activ- ities that can be helpful.

A-2-2.3 See Appendix B. Information for Fire Department Physicians. Appendix C, Essential Structural Fire -Fighting Functions provides a generic description of job tasks per- formed by members. A fire department needs to provide the Fire department physician with a job description of all posi- tions and ranks so that the fire department physician can understand the physical and mental demands placed upon all members regardless of position or rank. Appendix D. Guide for Fire Department Administrators, also provides guidance for ensuring that the fire department physician is provided with this information. A 2-3 See Appendix B. Section B-3, Guidance for Medical Evaluations. A-2.3.4 See Appendix D. Section D-1. Legal Considerations in Applying the Standard. A-24 See Appendix B, Section B-3, Guidance for Medical Evaluations. A-24.1.3 At the discretion of the fire department physician, an examination can be performed sooner than would be expected from the schedule given in 24.1.3. Current medical conditions and coronary risk factors could mandate more fre- quent medical examinations. A-24.1.4 See Appendix B, Guide for Fire Department Phy- sicians. A-24.3 See Appendix D, Section D- 1. Legal Considerations in Applying the Standard. A-2-5.1 A department should set protocols regarding length of time absent from duty and/or medical conditions that require the department physician to evaluate a member. Deformities of the skull. such as depressions or exos- roses, of a degree that interferes with the use of pmtec. tive equipment. Deformities of the skull can result in the. member's inability to properly wear protective equipment. Deformities of the skull .associated with evidence of dis- ease of the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. These deformities can result in the potential for sudden inca- pacitation, the inability to properly wear protective equipment. and the inability to communicate effectively due to oropharNngeal dysfunction. Loss of or congenital absence of the bonvsubstance of the skull (if associated with disease interfering with perfor- mance or ifappropriate protection cannot be provided for the area without interfering with protective equipment and vision). Loss of or congenital absence of the bony sub- stance of the skull can result in the inability to properly wear protective equipment and the inability to communi. cate effectively due to oropharyngeal dysfunction. Any other head condition that results in a person nor being able to perform as a member. A 3-2.2.2 Category B medical conditions of the neck include the following: (1) Thoracic outlet syndrome (symptomatic). Thoracic out- let syndrome can result in frequent episodes of pain or inability to perform work. (2) Congenital cysts, chronic draining fistulas, or similar lesions (if lesions or underlying disease interferes with performance). Congenital cysts, chronic draining fistu- las, or similar lesions can result in the inability to properly wear protective equipment, and the inability to commu- nicate effectively due to oropharyngeal dysfunction. (3) Contraction of neck muscles (if it interferes with wearing of protective equipment or ability to perform duties). The contraction of neck muscles can result in the inabil- ity to properly wear protective equipment, and the inabil- ity to perform functions as a member due to limitation of flexibility. (4) Any other neck condition that results in a person not being able to perform as a member. A-3-3.1 Category A medical conditions of the eves and vision include the following- (1) Far visual acuity.

Successful long-term soft contact lens wearers (that is, six months without a problem) are not subject to the uncorrected standard. Inadequate far visual acuity can result in the failure to be able to read placards and street signs or to see and respond to imminently hazardous situations. (2) Peripheral union. Visual field performance without correc- tion is 140 degrees in the horizontal meridian in each eve. (Members cannot have j«st monocular vision.) 2000 Edition B82-1 1 MIiDIC U.

Inability a, maintain safety near moving objects c. Poor balance on uneven surfaces d. Unsuccessful performance in environments %.here visual cues are critical to personal safety A-3.3.2 Category B medical conditions of the eves and vision include the following: (2) (3) Diseases of the eve such as retinal detachment, progres- sive retinopathv, or optic neuritis (severe or progressive). These diseases of the eye can result in the failure to read placards and street signs or to see and respond to immi- nendv hazardous situations. Ophthalmological procedures such as radial keratot- omv and repair of retinal detachment. With retinal detachment, sufficient time 0-2 weeks for radial kera- tonomy and Lasik-type surgeries, three months for reti- nal detachment) must have passed to allow stabilization of visual acuity and to ensure that there are no postsur- gical complications. These ophthalmological proce- dures may result in the failure to be able to read placards and street signs or to see and respond to immi- nently hazardous situations. Any other eye condition that results in a person not being able to perform as a member. Persons with severe color vision loss will likely fail the acuity requirement. Formerly, color vision deficiency was listed as a Cate- gory B medical condition. However, it is felt that within most cases this condition will not affect the ability of a member to perform the essential functions of his or her job. The fire service physician should consider the color vision deficiency of the individual and consider the color vision requirements of the member'sjob and reach an individual determination. A 34.2 There are currently no hearing tests that will allow the fire department physician to accurately predict whether the fire fighter will adequately be able to perform essential job duties. job -specific hearing tests should be individualized for each department and its specific job functions. The following list of hearing -specific casks can assist to direct development of hearing protocols. (1) Understanding spoken commands, both over the radio and while wearing SCBA (2) Hearing alarm signals, including building evacuation, low air signal on the SCBA, and PASS alarms (3) Hearing and locating the source of calls for assistance from victims or other fire fighters All of the above tasks will need to be performed with rea. sonably simulated incident scene background noise and SCBA noise. The inability to hear sounds of low intensity or to distin- guish voice from background noise can lead to failure to respond to imminently hazardous situations. (See aLso X4.5.)

A-4-2.I Physicians who care for members need to be familiar and keep up-to-date with the most current recommendations for post -exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for bloodbome parho- gen (BBP) exposures. Also there should be a written protocol for dealing with members who present with BBP exposures. This should be based on the following elements: (1) Fact sheet that explains in lay language the risks of infec- tion, the various prophylactic and therapeutic options, the testing and follow-up that will be needed and recom- mendations for personal behavior (i.e., safe sex, blood donation, and so forth) following an exposure. (2) Classification table to determine the exposure type and recommendation for prophylaxis. Current recommenda- tions of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Public Health Services. (3) Listing of testing to be done on exposed member, includ- ing the following: 1582-19 a. HIV b. Hepatitis B surface Antibody (HBsAb), if not previ- ously known to be positive c. Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg), if not previously known to be positive HBsAb d. Hepatitis C Antibody (HCAb) e. If HIV prophylaxis is to be given, the following tests should be done: I. CBC 2. Glucose, renal and hepatic chemical function 3. Pregnancy test for females (4) Listing of testing to be done on source patient, including the following: a. HIV b. HBsAg c. HCAb (5) If source is available, interview for HIV, HepB, and HepC risk/status. (6) Determination of risk and need for PEP (7) Member counseling regarding PEP medicadon(s) and side effects of treatment. A printed fact sheet should be available for the member to review. (8) If PEP prophylaxis is to be given, it should be done as soon as possible after the incident, preferably within 2 hours. (9) Members on prophylaxis need to be followed (preferably by an ID specialist) for the duration of their treatment. (10) Assessment of tetanus status and administration of dT booster, if appropriate ( 11) Assess HepB status a. If previously immunized with a positive post-immuni- zadon Liter, no further treatment is needed. b. If previously immunized, titer was negative, and source is HBsAg positive or high risk, give Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) as soon as possible — pref- erably within 24 hours — and a dose of Hepatitis B vaccine. c. If previously immunized and titer is unknown, draw titer. 1. If Liter is positive, no further treatment is needed. 2. If titer is negative and source is HBsAg positive or high risk, then give Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) as soon as possible — preferably within 24 hours — and a dose of Hepatitis B vaccine. d. If previously immunized with negative titer and revac- cinated with a negative titer, give HBIG immediately and a second dose 1 month later. e. If never immunized, give HBIG and begin Hepatitis B vaccine series. (12) Follow-up instructions should include the following. a. Adverse events and side effects of PEP b. Signs and symptoms of retroviral illness (fever, aden- opathy, rash) c. Appointments for follow-up blood work, including the following 1. HIV at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months 2.

(2) Placement of PPD and reading by a trained, designated reader within ld hours to 72 hours of placement. Mem- bers with a history of positive PPD should fill out a ques- tionnaire. (3) PPD results should be documented in millimeters (mm). A test with no skin reaction should be recorded as 0 mm. ( }) :k PPD skin test will be considered positive if the following conditions are present: a. Greater than 5 mm in someone who is immunosup- pressed b. Greater than 10 mm in someone with a normal immune system who is at risk for conversion due to an exposure c. Greater than 10 mm increase from previous reading (5) If PPD is positive (conversion), the following steps should be taken: a. Fill out questionnaire b. Obtain chest x-ray c. Evaluate for active disease d. Evaluate for preventative therapy (6) if active disease is diagnosed, the member has to be removed from any duty until she/he has been deter- mined to be noninfectious. This will occur when ade• quate therapy has been instituted, the cough has resolved, and 3 consecutive sputum smears for acid -fast bacillus (AFB) on different days are negative. A-4-3.2 In the event of an exposure to TB, the following steps should be taken: (1), Member should receive a PPD within 14 days of expo- sure. Members with a history of positive PPD should fill out a TB questionnaire. (2) Repeat PPD or questionnaire should be done 6 weeks to 12 weeks after the first. (3) If PPD is positive (conversion) or questionnaire is posi- tive, proceed as per (5) and (6) of A-1-3.1. A4 4 29 CFR 1910.1030 requires that members be offered Hep- atibs B immunization at no cost to the member. Members who choose to decline the offer of this immunization are required to sign a written declination. The declination becomes pan of a member's confidential health data base as specified in Section 8-4 of NFPA 1500, Standard an For. Department Occupational.Safeq and Health Program. Members are allowed to recant at any time and receive offered immunizations. A-5-1.1 Having a preplanned rehabilitation program that is applicable to most incident types is essential for the health and safety of members. This program should oudine an ongoing rehabilitation for simple or short -duration incidents as well as a process to transition into the rehabilitation needs of a large 2000 Edition or longduration incident. Medical evaluation and treatment in the on -scene rehabilitation area should be conducted according to emergency medical service (EMS) protocols developed by the fire department in consultation with the fire department physician and the EMS medical director. If advanced life support (ALS) personnel are available, this level of ENIS care is preferred. A-5-1.2 Weather factors during emergency incidents can impact severeh on the safety and health of members, who are operating during extremes of heat or cold. Where these fac- tors combine with long -duration incidents or situations that require heavy exertion. the risks to members increase rapidly. The tire department should develop procedures, in consulta- tion with the fire department physician, to provide relief from adverse climatic conditions. The following are typical rehabilitation considerations for operations during hot weather extremes: (1) Moving fatigued or unassigned members away from the hazardous area of the incident (2) Removing personal protective equipment (3) Ensuring that personnel are out of direct sunlight (4) Ensuring that there is adequate air movement over per- sonnel, either naturally or mechanically (5) Providing members with fluid replenishment, especially water (6) Providing medical evaluation for personnel showing signs or symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke The following are typical rehabilitation considerations for operations during cold weather extremes: (1) Moving fatigued or unassigned members away from the hazardous area of the incident (2) Providing shelter from wind and temperature extremes (3) Providing members with fluid replenishment, especially water (4) Providing medical evaluation for members showing signs or symptoms of frostbite, hypothermia, or other cold - related injury A-5-2.2 The assignment of an ambulance or other support crew to the rehabilitation function is essential during long - duration or heavy -exertion incident operations. This crewcan assist with rehabilitation functions as well as be available to provide immediate basic life support needs for members. Advanced life support (paramedic) level of evaluation and treatment has to be available quickly, however, to ensure the proper level of care. The medical staff has to have an assigned medical director. This can be an on -scene physician such as a fire department physician, a remote physician at a base hospital, or a central medical direction facility. A-5-3.2 For major incidents or escalating incidents, medical control can be established by the fire department physician or medical director at the incident scene. Burn Injury. When a member suffers a burn injury, he or she should be evaluated as to the extent of injury. First -degree burns can be treated on scene, and the member may continue duty. Second-degree burns should be evaluated by a physician familiar with burns, such as an emergency department physi- cian, a member of a bum unit, or a fire department physician. Second-degree bums and higher are conditions that demand that the member be removed from emergency response duty. After the burns have healed to the extent that there is minimal risk for entry into the member's body of body fluids and chem- icals encountered during regular duties, he or she can return to full duty. The .American Burn Association has criteria for referral to a burn center. They are second- and third-degree burns with characteristics as follows: (1) Exceeding 20 percent body surface area (BSAi (2) Exceeding 10 percent BSA for age under W or over 50 (3) Any third-degree burn over 5 percent BSA (A) Involving hands, fret, face, perineum, geniudia, or major joints (5) Circumferential involving extremities or chest (6) Caused by contact with chemicals, electricity, or lightning (7) Coupled with smoke inhalation injury (3) .'Lssociated with multiple crruma (9) Involving patients with pre-existing significant medical illness Afuscuh)skeletal Sprains. Strains and sprains are among the mostcommon member injuries. When they occur during peri- ods when circulating catecholamines are high, such as on the fireground, the injured member might underestimate the seventy of the injury. Under such conditions, he or she might continue working and worsen the injury. Evaluation of these type of injuries on the frreground can be difficult. The injury might worsen with time due to swelling, muscle spasm, and increased pain perception after the emer- gency call is over. Any acute injury that leads to swelling or results in more than a trivial limitation of motion should prob- ably be evaluated by a physician. Smoke Inhalatirm. Smoke inhalation is fortunately becoming less common, due to the use of self-contained breathing appa- ratus. A member with smoke inhalation should be treated with 100 percent oxygen and transported to an emergency depart- ment- Bums involving greater than 15 percent of body surface area, facial burns, singed hair, and airway soot are associated with more severe airway burns. Lower airway injury can be associated with carbonaceous sputum, wheezing, rates, rhon- chi, and chest pain, Pulmonary function tests can reveal a decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI). A chest radiograph may disclose infiltrates or atelectasis. Hypoxemia may be seen on arterial blood gas analysis. A nor- mal chest radiograph and normal arterial blood gas results do not, however, rule out significant smoke inhalation injury. Endotracheal incubation should be performed if there is central nervous system,suidor, hypoxemia (POD less than 60), by ,percarbia (PCO; greater than 50), full -thickness bums of the face or neck, airway or pulmonary edema, or inability to handle secretions. Positive end —expiratory pressure (PEEP) should be used if hypoxemia persists despite incubation and administration of 100 percent oxygen. Inhaled beta-agonists and anticholinergir_s can be used for bronchospasm. Systemic corticosteroids are not recommended for pneumonia or pul- monary edema. Antibiotics may be needed if sputum gram stain and culture with fever and leukocycosis suggest the pres- ence of a bacterial pneumonia. Down :Member. Certainly the scenario involving the discovery of an unconscious member is one chat is difficult to manage given the psychological responses of all involved. Of course, the first priority is the safe removal of the victim from the haz- ardous area. Then the .Airway, Bleeding, Cardiac (ABCs) are carried out and a secondary surrey performed. Transport to a hospital should be expedited. Any unconscious member should be treated with 100 per- cent oxygen, since carbon monoxide poisoning is common and cyanide poisoning possible as secondary effects of smoke 1382-21 inhalation. At the emergency department, the victim should have an arterial carboxvhemoglobin deterrnincd and should be evaluated for possible c}anide toxicity if cyanide poisoning is suspected, treatment with a cyanide antidote kit should he initiated. Since inducing methemoglobinemia in a patient with an elevated carboxvhemoglobin level mac further impair oxygen deli%erv, only sodium thiosulfate should be given ini- tially. If treatment with h%perbane oxygen is started, nitrites may be used. A-14.3 Items that can assist in limiting temperature stress in cold environments include heat, blankru, and protection from the wind. For. hot weather. items should include adequate shade, tans, air-conditioning;, and misting systems. Food and hydration needs include water and oral fluids, food, broth. and tntit_ Also, for hydratioit. a 50/50 mixture of water and an electrolyte replacement drink can be provided. Medical equipment should include blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes. oxygen, cardiac monitors, thermometers, and intravenous fluid and supplies. :-5-4.4 The incident commander should consider the cir- cumstances of each incident and make suitable provisions for rest and rehabilitation of members operating at the incident scene. For example, when members consume air from two SCBA air cylinders (two -cylinder rule), they should be assigned to rehab. A-5-1.5 The measurement of the pulse rate has been used by some fire departments in assessing members during rehabilita- tion. A persistently elevated pulse could be a sign of excessive stress on the body due to dehydration, heat stress, exhaustion, or cardiopulmonary disease. The use of a pulse rate has not been studied in a manner that allows strict medical protocol to be recommended. The pulse rate combined with the remain- der of the clinical evaluation of the member may be used to determine tithe member can return to operations. Appendix B Information for Fire Department Physicians This appendix is not a pan of the requirements of this NFPA doc- ument but is included for informational purposes only. B-1 Occupational Safety and Health Problems for Members. B-1.1 General. Fire fighting acid emergency response are very difficult jobs. People in thesejobs perform functions that are physically and psychologically very demanding. These functions are often performed under very difficult conditions. (Ser Appendix C.) 8-1.2 Physical Load. Studies have shown that fire -fighting functions require working at near, maximal heart races for pro- longed periods of time. Heavy protective equipment (includ- ing respirators) and the heat from the fire contnbute to this physical load. B-1.3 Toxic Substances. Members and emergency response personnel also are exposed to many toxic substances during their work. Carbon monoxide is the most common contami- nant, studies have shown individual exposures chat are as high as 5000 ppm during actual fires. Other significant exposures common during fires include cyanide, acrolein, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and benzene. The burning of plas- tics and other synthetic materials can expose members to other toxic materials, such as isocyanates and nitrosamines. hazardous materials incidents can involve exposures to many 2000 Edition 158 2—' -' %IkDIGIL REQUIREMENTS FOIL FIRI' FIGH HT S ,�\,D IVP()R\t.\ flOv FOR FIRE 0LV.\RTNIF, NT PI RSlc_(.\�S other toxic materials..Jdthough the use of respirators helps to reduce exposures. mechanical, environmental, and behav- ioral factors can limit their use during all phases of a tire The avulable health data on members are limited. While the protection for members has improved over the last several years, exposures might be changing due to the introduction of more svntiieue materials. Given the delav benveen exposure and onset, i that is, latency) of many occupational illnesses. current or past health Studies of members might not reticct future health nsks. Tliese limitations should be recognized when reviewing the available snidies. B-1.4 Increased Risk of Injury and Disease. Available data indicate that members have increased risk for injuries, pul- monary disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and noise - induced hearing loss. The increased risk for injuries is expected. iven the demands and circumstances of this work. Fatalities and Serious injuries from burns or other fire -scene hazards can occur. The risk for respiratory disease occurs due to the respira- tory damage caused by many of the components of Ere smoke (for example, particulate, acrolein, nitrogen oxides, and so on.) .acute reductions in pulmonary function and even hypox- emia are not uncommon after fires, even in asymptomatic members. Permanent damage from smoke inhalation has also been reported. Studies of chronic pulmonary changes from fire fighting have not had consistent results. Some follow-up studies have shown a greater rate of decline in pulmonary function among members over time, while others have not been able to detect this change. Increased use of protective equipment and job selection factors (ill members transferring to other duties) could account for these inconsistent findings. The strenuous work demands of fire fighting combined with exposures to carbon monoxide and other toxic sub- stances can increase the risk for cardiovascular disease among members. Acute respiratory changes also can stress the cardiovascular system. This increased cardiovascular dis- ease risk has been documented even in some mortality stud- ies, despite the job selection factors that tend to mask any increase when compared to the general population. Other studies have not detected this risk. Certainly, the combina- tion' of the physical stress of fire fighting and exposures for a person with preexisting coronary heart disease would be expected to increase the risk of a myocardial infarction or other acute event. However, the degree of this acute risk and whether fire fighting also contributes to the development of coronary heart disease is uncertain. Increased cancer risk for members has been found in sev- eral recent studies. While not totally consistent, these studies generally show an increased risk of brain cancer, (gastrointes- tinal cancers] colon cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia among members in many different parts of the world. Increased incidence of other cancer sites has also been shown in some studies. Several studies are currently under way to further evaluate this risk. Noise -induced hearing loss has now been documented in several studies of members. Members might also be at risk from other specific exposures including infectious diseases and liver, kidney, or neurological damage from exposure to specific chemicals. MOO Ed,Wn B-" Guidance for Medical Evaluations. B-2.1 Preplacement and Baseline Medical Evaluations. Preplacement medical evaluations assess an individual', health status before assignment to a position. The purpose of the evaluation is to ascertain whether the individual has any health condition that prevents him or her from pe forming the job. including the ability to wear protective equipment required for the job. The e'rtluation should also identify any health problems that could be substantially a�,-ravated by the physical demands and working conditions. Baseline medical information concerning the applicant's health status can then be compared to subsequent evaluation results for the purpose of determining whether the individual his any significant health trends that can be occupationally related. Two tpes of information are essential for a medical Pre - placement evaluation of those performing; member duties. First, the physician must understand the working conditions and physical demands of this occupation. Appendix C pro- %ides a list of the environmental factors encountered in fire fighting; and emergency response. The physician also should obtain additional information from the fire department regarding specific job duties and task lists (if the fire depart- ment has conducted a validation study or job analysis) and should be familiar with the organization of the fire depart- ment. For the evaluation of some medical conditions, the phy- sician will need to obtain further information about specific job duties in order to make a determination. This might require on -site inspections and consultation with fire depart- ment personnel. Second, the physician needs to have accurate information about the person's disease or medical condition, the f uic- tional limitations associated with that condition, and an understanding of how physical demands and working condi- tions would impact on that condition. An accurate diagnosis is often the key factor in determining the person's capability. For example, different skin diseases can have similar clinical appearances but can markedly differ in their response to envi- ronmental exposures. The physician should also recognize that individual variability can exist between persons with the same clinical condition. Upon completion of the examination, the physician should inform the authority havingjurisdiction whether the applicant is medically qualified to perform as a member. B-2.2 Periodic Medical Evaluations. The periodic medical evaluation is designed to evaluate the person's continued abil- ity to perform his or her duties and to detect any other signif- icant changes in the condition of his or her health. The latter includes possible job -related changes or abnormalities. Every year, each member will be medically evaluated by the Fire department physician. This medical evaluation includes an update on the member's medical history, including any sig- nificant changes, a brief review of symptoms, and a report on any significant job -related exposures experienced during the past year. Height, weight, visual acuity, and blood pressure are measured and recorded. The extent of the medical evaluation and additional testing will depend on the member's medical condition. A more thorough evaluation, including a medical examina- tion, is conducted on a periodic basis. For individuals less than 30 years of age, the medical evaluation and examination is conducted at least every three years; for those 30 to 39 years of age, at least every two years; and for those 443 years of age or over, every year. This evaluation should include an updated medical and interval history, complete physical examination, vision testing. audiometry, pulmonary function testing. and a CBC, urinalysis, glucose, BUN, creaunine, liver funcuon tests, and lipid profile. The use of chest x-rays in surveillance activities in the absence of significant exposures, symptoms, or medicst find- ings has not been shown to reduce respiratory or other health impairment. Therefore, only preplacement chest x-rays are recommended. } No firm ;giudelines for stress electrocardiography in :symp- tomatic individuals have been developed. There have been problems with False -positive results from this testing, especially in younger age groups and in women. In those with one or more risk factors for coronary artery disease, there is probably justification for performing the testing. As well, stress tests are more important in those whose work deals with public safety. 'J? Stress tests can be performed using a treadmill, bicycle, or stair climber, as long as the protocol being used gradually increases in workload metabolic equivalent of resting energ expenditure NETS). A submaximal test, with the endpoint being the attainment of 35 percent of predicted maximal heart rate (PbiHR), may be performed. Additional informa- tion gained by performing a maximal symptom -limited test might not be worth the additional rime, effort, cost, and risk. A reasonable approach is to start periodic treadmill testing on members at age 44). In those with one or more coronary artery disease risk factors (premature family history (less than age 55), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, and hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol greater than 240 or HDLcholesterol less than 35) ], testingshould be started by age35. The frequency of testing should increase with age, but at the minimum the test should be done at least every two years. Testing can also be done as indicated for those with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease, as reported in their yearly medical histories or interim reports. Conversely, it is known that even maximal stress testing fre- quently misses cardiac abnormalities seen during actual fire- fighting duties. B-2.3 Content of the Medical Evaluation. B-2.3.1 Medical and Occupational History, The medical his- tory should cover the person's known health problems, such as major illnesses, surgeries, medication use, allergies, and so forth. Symptom review is also important for detecting early signs of illness. In addition, a comprehensive medical history should include a personal health history, a family health his- tory, a health habit history, an immunization history, and a reproductive history. An occupational history should also be obtained to collect information about the person's past occu- pational and environmental exposures. B-2.3.2 Medical Examination. The medical examination includes the following organ systems and tests: (1) Vital signs, such as pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and, if indicated, temperature (2) Dermatological (3) Ears, eyes, nose, mouth, throat (4) Cardiovascular (5) Respiratory (6) Gastrointestinal (7) Genitourinary (8) Endocrine and metabolic (9) viusculoskelecal (10) Neurological 158'2—`.'1 (1 1) Audiometry ( 12) Visual acuity and penpheral vision testing (13) Pulmonary function testing (14) Laboratory testing, if indicated (15) Diagnostic imaging, if indicated (16) Electrocardiography, if indicated B-2.3.2.1 LaboratoryTests. CSC, biochemical test battery, urinalysis, glucose, BUN, creatinine, liver function tests, and lipid profile. should be conducted for detecting specific ill- nesses as well as developing a baseline for later comparison. B-2.3.2.2 X-rays. A baseline chest x-ray can be helpful for individuals with a history of respiratory health problems or symptoms. For others. it can be useful for later comparison. B-2.3.2.3 Pulmonary Function Testing. Pulmonary function testing can be helpful for individuals with a history of respira- tory health problems and as a baseline for later comparison. A baseline test should be administered by an experienced per- son. Only a spirogram that is technically acceptable and dem- onstrates the best efforts by an individual should be used to calculate the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). B-2.3.2.4 Audiornetry. Audiograms should be performed in an ANSI -approved soundproof booth (ANSI S3.1, Maximum Permiuible. Ambient Noise Levels for Audiom tric Test Rooms) with equipment calibrated to .NNSI standards (.-VNSI S3.6, Specifica- tion for Audiometers). If a booth is unavailable, the test room sound pressure levels should not exceed those specified in the federal OSH k noise regulations (29 CFR 1910.95). B-2.3.2.5 Electrocardiography. Baseline electrocardiography should be conducted. (Periodic resting electrocardiograms have not been shown to be useful, but may be reasonable as a member's age increases.) B-2.4 Reporting the Results of the Medical Evaluation. All individuals participating in a medical evaluation should be informed ahead of time about the purpose of the medical evaluation and the content of the exam. The results of any medical evaluation are considered to be confidential medi- cal information, subject to customary patient -physician con- fidentiality restrictions. Under most circumstances, results and recommendations arising from the evaluation should be expressed in general terms without specific diagnostic infor- mation. In cases where more specific information is needed in order to make a decision on the status of a candidate or member, a specific consent form releasing that information should be obtained from the candidate or member. Blanket or general "release of medical information" forms should not be used. In most cases, a simple statement like one of the following Will suffice: (a) Based on the results of the preplacement medical eval- uation of December 10, 1996, Jane Doe is (or is NOT) medi- cally certified to engage in training and emergency operations for Anytown Fire Department- (b) Based on the results of the preplacement medical eval- uation of December 10, 1996, John Doe is NOT medically cer- tified to engage in training and emergency operations for Anytown Fire Department. He has been advised of the medical reasons for this recommendation and of the policies and pro- cedures available to him if he disagrees with the results of the medical evaluation. 2000 EaYtlon 138':-2I MEDt(:\L REQL'iRENIENTS FOR FIRE FIGHTEM AND INVORNLMON FOR FiRE• DEPARTSiLN'T PID'Si(,i.\NS &2.5 Second Opinions. Fire department policies and proce- dures should allow for a medical second opinion when a candi- date or member disagrees with the results or recommendations of a medical examination conducted by the fire department physician or when the fire department physician is uncertain about the limitations or prognosis of the individual's condition. Often other physicians will not be familiar with the duties and demands of tire fighting and emergency response. When possi- ble, the fire department physician should help educate the other physician about how the individual's condition could affect or be affected by fire fighting. If there is still disagreement about the condition or placement recommendation, a third physician (acceptable to both the fire department and the can- didate) can be consulted. B-2-6 Musc-uloskeletal System. Some of the injuries or prob- lemt� encountered in this system will need functional capacity evaluation to determine fitness for duty. Physical therapy pro- viders often design tests for employers to determine ability to perform tasks similar to those required as part of their essen- tial job functions. These tests should be based on direct mea- surements of the actual job functions. These functional capacity evaluations can be especially useful when a member has been cleared for full duty by a physician who is not familiar with the essential job functions of a member. &3 Specific Medical Conditions. &3.1 Diabetes Mellitus. The major concern for diabetic members is the risk of becoming hypoglycemic during fire. ground operations or other emergency responses. Both exog- enous insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents can be associated with episodes of hypoglycemia that can rapidly progress from impaired judgment to unconsciousness. The most reliable predictor of hypoglycemia is a history of it. In one study of insulin -dependent adolescents conducted at the Joslin Clinic (Bhatia and Wolfsdorf 1991), all 196 patients experienced hypoglycemia at least once during the two-year observation period. Of these, 15 percent were classified as severe, based on loss of consciousness, seizure, or the clinical need for thera- peutic glucagon or intravenous glucose. It was particularly concerning that 24 percent of hypoglycemic episodes detected by blood glucose monitoring were inapparent to the patients. The probable causes of hypoglycemia were identified in 71 percent of cases, and the most common were strenuous exercise and skipped meals or snacks. Both of these precipi- tants are likely to occur in emergency responders, especially fire service personnel. In addition to accelerating glucose uti- lization, strenuous exercise increases insulin sensitivity (Wasserman and Sinman 1994). With the tighter glycemic control that is now known to decrease and delay onset of dia- betic complications, there is a concomitantly increased likeli- hood of exercise -induced hypoglycemia (Wasserman and Sinman 1994). Insulin is clearly associated with a much higher risk of symptomatic hypoglycemia than are oral agents. In the absence of a history of incapacitating hypoglycemic episodes, and with close medical monitoring, there is probably no rea- son to exclude members who are taking oral hypoglycemic agents, as long as they have stable weights, diets, and renal function. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act (Public Law 101-336 1990) does not appear to require each diabetic patient to be evaluated for fitness for dury individually, there is some case law that disallowed blanket exclusion of insulin - dependent diabetics from public safety positions (Fire & Police Personnel Reporter 1994). The Federal Aviation 2000 Edition .Administration (11 (YR67.1316 1995) dues not grant medical certificates to diabetics treated with insulin and severely limits those on oral hypoglycemic agents. &3.2 Asthma and Reactive Airways Disease. The diagnosis of asthma and related airway hyperactivity disorders is often confounded by definitional is,ues. Fur the purposes of member certitication, a variety of airwav disorders chat meet the following criteria can be included. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways- In suscepti. ble individuals, this inflammation causes svmptoms that are usually associated with widespread but variable airflow obstruction that is often reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment, and causes an associated increase in airway responsiveness to a variety of stimuli. Since asthma is a highly prevalent disease, a number of member applicants will require special evaluation. Combus. tion products, exercise, and cold air are all potent provokers of an asthma attack. Some of these exposures are unavoidable, even with SCBA use. If a candidate has a diagnosis or symp- toms consistent with an asthma -like disease, manv factors will need to be considered. An asthma attack duringa suppression activity could harm the member, his fellow members, or a member of the public. The following factors can be used to help in certification: (1) Persistence of airway obstruction between attacks (as measured by spirometry) (2) Need and frequency of steroid and bronchodilator use (frequent bronchodilator use suggests persistent airway hyperactivity) (3) Usual type of triggers in the applicant (allergic, infec- tious, exercise -induced, etc.) (4) History of hospitalization, emergency room, or urgent treatment (5) Length of time between attacks (6) Nocturnal symptoms and other estimates of airway insta- bility Moderate asthma or worse could disqualify an individual for member duties. Unknown factors such as the suppression of airway hyperactivity with anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the possibility of a sudden or severe attack are under investigation and could modify current suggestions. B-3.3 Heart Disease. The medical conditions relating to the cardiovascular system have been reviewed since the previous edition (1997) of this document The task forces at the Bethesda Conference published recommendations for ath- letes competing with cardiovascular disease in the fournalofthe American College of Cardiology, in October 1994. The analysis used by the task force has relevance to the evaluation of mem- bers with cardiovascular disease. Fire-fighting.activities have a high static component (i.e., inducing predominantly an increase in blood pressure) and a moderate to high dynamic component (i.e., inducing predominantly an increase in heart rate). Sports with a similar set of demands include wrestling, body building, and boxing. Recommendations made by the task force with respect to athletic activities that have chest physical demands (high static, moderate dynamic) have been followed in this document. B-3.4 Reproductive- Exposures in the fire -fighting environ- ment can cause adverse reproductive effects for both males and females. Medical evidence exists to indicate that chemical exposure, heat, noise, and physical exertion can affect various endpoints of reproductive health including fertility, fetal loss, and ;growth parameters of the offspring. All candidatei and members should be educated about these risks and about the need to take appropriate steps to limit dreir exposures. :Vso, there could be some situaions where a male or Female member is attempting to conceive a child and is h-sing difficult•. In these situations, where a complete medical evaht. ation has not idenufted another carve for this interulir., tem- porary assignment on a voluntary basis ro alrernative tin[ or a leave of absence should be considered. Medical evidence exkus that certain toxic substances or con- ditions that are present in the fire.fighting environment are dangerous to the safe[- and well-being of the fCtuts. Therefore. it is important to educate all members about these risks and die resons for recommending that pregnant members restrict their tire -Suppression activities. For example, there is Tood evi- dence that the fetus is especiallvsensitive to carbon monoxide. a known significant component of fire smoke. ,although the use of SCBA is assumed to be protective, sometimes such equipment is not used throughout a Lire suppression or haz- ardous materials incidenL The we of such equipment also increases other fetal stressors, such as exertion and heat. Other concerns are those involving phvsical work. Prolonged stand- ing, heavy lifting, and exposures to temperature extremes and humidity have been related to an increase of preterm and low birth weight infants. Because the fetus should be protected from these exposures at the earliest possible time, the member who might be pregnant should obtain early pregnancy testing. Recognizing potential risks to the fetus from the fire -fighting environment is a reladvely recent event, and many members might not be aware of these risks. Based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision (Interna- tional Union et al. v. Johnson Controls. Inc., 59 U.S.LAV. 4209, .March 20. 1991), the ability to perform as a member is to be the basis for the medical certification without consideration of health risks to the fetus. However, the pregnant member should be counseled on the potential risks to her fetus due to her exposures during firefighting duties. Any member who becomes pregnant should be offered the opportunity at any time during the pregnancy to be voluntar- ily removed from fire -fighting duties and from other duties involving the hazards or physical stress that might endanger the fetus. If practical, the member should be offered voluntary reassignment to an alternative position. At such time as the pregnant member can no longer be medically certified as being capable of performing tire -fighting duties, the member should be reassigned to other duties- At such time as the mem- ber is no longer pregnant, the member should be reinstated to the position held prior to being pregnant. Nursing mem bers should also be advised about the potential exposures to their infants. B-3.5 Noise -Induced Hearing Loss. This category can pose difFculues because a high percentage of current members have noise -induced hearing loss due to their exposures as members. Implementation of hearing conservation programs and programs to reduce noise exposures should lead to a decrease in the prevalence of this condition in the future. B-3.6 Seizures and Epilepsy. It is important to distinguish between a history of seizures and epilepsy. ,as much as 11) per- cent of the population will experience at least one seizure in a lifetime, whereas less than i percent of the population qualities for a diagnosis of epilepsy ( Hauser and Hesdorffer 1990). Manv conditions producing seizures in the pediatric age group are known to remit prior to adulthood, and many adults sustain a 15.4 ',-',:i reactive seiznrc that can he attributed to a rcversrblc, rtnrlerly. ing precipitant. These circumstances do not necessarily repre- sent an ongoing tick ot'siidden. unpredictable incapacitauon of a member. if a member Iias a single seizure. a clear precipiunt not associmcd with central nervous system dam.rge is idcntiticd .end eliminated. and the individual h.s no recurrence over the ensuing year, then he or site is pi ohably not more likely to h-eve another seizure than the rest of the ,general pipnlation (,Spcn. cer l9951. Most fire department phvticiam will want a qualitic(i nemolo,�st to verih that ate individual with a history of seizures does not, in t.ict. have epilepsv. Epilepsy is diA nosed by the presence of "unprovoked, recurrent seizures — poroxvsmal disorders of the central ner. vous system characterized by an abnormal cerebral neuronal discharge with or without loss of consciousness' (Casciuo 1994). Treatment of patients with epilepsv is onlvvariably suc- cessful, with roughly 41) percent of patients attaining remission on anti-comulsant therapy (Hauser and Hesdorffer 1990: Spencer 1995). Remission is defined as five years without recurrence of seizure activity (Anne;ers, Hauser, and Elve- back 1979). Further complicating the fitness-for+duty issue is the fact that only:30 percent of patients who achieve remission do so without toxic side effects of the anti-convulsant drug (Cascino 1994). Partial, simple epilepsv, or recurrent seizures that do not impair consciousness, are felt to be a disqualifying condition because of the uncertainty regarding how much of the brain might be involved, and the risk of propagation to other regions of the brain, particularly in the highly epileptogenic environment of the frreground (Spencer 1995). This standard is somewhat more libenl than that promul- gated by the Federal .aviation Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation for aircraft pilots (14 CFR 67.1316 I995)..all epileptics, regardless of therapeutic success are denied first-, second-, or third-class medical certificates, except under the provisions of 14 CFR67.I9.

C-1 The medical requirements in this standard were based on in-depth consideration of essential structural fire -fighting functions. These essential functions are what members are ex- pected to perform at emergency incidents and are derived from the performance objectives stated in NFPA 1001. Stan- dard fur Fire Fighter Prof+,siortal Qwilificalions. Essenual functions are performed in and affected br' the following environmental factors: (1) Operating both as a member of a team and indepen- dendy at incidents of uncertain duration (°) Spending extensive time outside exposed to the elements (3) Tolerating extreme fluctuations in temperature while per- forming duties; fire fighters are required to perform phys- ically demanding work in hot (up to 401)°F), humid (up to 100 percent) atmospheres while wearing equipment that significantly impairs body -cooling mechanisms. (4) Experiencing frequent transition from hot to cold and from humid to dry atmospheres (3) Working in wet, icy, or muddy areas (6) Performing a variety of tasks on slippery, hazardous iur- faces such as on rooftops or from ladders (7) Working in areas where sustaining traumatic or thermal injuries is possible (3) Facing exposure to carcinogenic dusts such as asbestos, toxic substances such as hydrogen cyanide, acids, carbon monoxide, or organic solvents, either through inhalation or skin contact (9) Facing exposure to infectious agents such as Hepatitis B or HIV (10) Wearing personal protective equipment that weighs approximately 50 lb while performing fire -fighting tasks (11.)

D-I Legal Considerations in applying the Standard. The con. sideration of an application or continued employment of a mem- ber b."d on medical or physical performance e� aluadoris involves a drterminadun that s not without (r;;al mplications. Tu this end, pnor to making an adverse employment decision based on the foregoing standard. the authority with jurisdiction might wish to consult with counsel. D-1.1 Individuals with Handicaps or Disabilities. The Reha- bilitation .act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 791 et seq.. and implementing regulations, prohibit discrimination agpinst those with handicaps or disabilities under any program receiv- ing, financial assistance from the federal government- The americans with Disabilities act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. l_'101, et seq.. also prohibits employment discrimination by certain pri- vate employers against individuals with disabilities. In addition, many states have enacted legislation prohibiting discrimination against those with handicaps or disabilities. These laws prevent the exclusion, denial of benefits, refusal to hire or promote, or other discriminatory conduct against an individual based on a handicap or disability, where the individual involved can, with or without reasonable accommodation, perform the essential functions of the job without creating undue hardship on the employer or program involved. Application of this standard should be undertaken with these issues in mind. The medical requirements of the 1997 edition of this stan- dard were initially developed and found to be job -related by a subcommittee comprised of medical doctors, physiological specialists, and fire service professionals, as processed through the NFPA consensus standards -making system. Changes for the current edition have been proposed by a task group com- prised of similar expertise. The standard provides, to the extent feasible, that decisions concerning candidates and cur- rent members with medical ailments, handicaps, ordisabilities be made after case -by -case medical evaluations. Thus, most medical conditions have been assigned to Category B. The medical requirements in this edition of the standard were revised based on the essential functions contained in Appendix C. it is recognized that some fire -fighting functions and tasks can vary from location to location due to differences in department size, functional and organizational differences, geography, level of urbanization, equipment utilized, and other factors. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each individ- ual fire department to document, through job analysis, that the essential functions performed in the local jurisdiction are substantially similar to those contained in ,appendix C. There are a wide variety ofjob apalytic techniques available to document the essential functions of the job of a member. However, at a minimum, any method utilized should be cur- rent, in writing, and meet the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (29 C FR 1630.2(n) (3) ].Job descriptions should focus on critical and important work behaviors and specific tasks and functions. The frequency and/or duration of task per- formance, and the consequences of failure to perform the task should be specified The working conditions and environmen- tal hazards in which the work is performed should be described. The job description should be made available to the fire service physician for use during the preplacement medical examination for the individual determination of the medical suitability of applicants for member. ,kPPEND(R 0 D-1.2 Anti -Discrimination Caws. Finally, users of this stan- dard should be aware that, while courts are likely to give con- siderable weight to the existence of a nauonaliv recognized standard such as NFPA 1582, .Standard in ;Medical Requinmertu for Fire Fighters and Infornuttion for Fire Department Physicians e.g., Mader v. Sioux Gatemav Fin Department, 49, NAV 2d 838 reliance on the standard alone could be insufficient to withstand a challenge under the anti -discrimination laws. Even in the case of Category A medical condiuons, courts can cull require additional expert evidence concerning an individ- ual candidate's or member's inability to perform the essential functions of thejob. Unul the courts provide further guidance its this developing area of law, some uncertainty as to the de,;ree and nature of the evidence required to establish com- pliance with the anEiAiscriminauon lases will remain. D-1.3 Individuals Who Are Members of Protected Classes (Race, Sex, Color, Religion, or National Origin). Title VII of the Civil Rights .act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e, and implementing regulations by the Equal Employment Opporm- nity, Commission (EEOC) prohibit discrimination in employ- ment on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, or national origin (i.e., protected classes). Under Title VII, an "employer" is defined, generally, to mean a person with "15 or more employ- ees for each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year." (42 U.S.C. 2000e) Several federal jurisdictions have held that unpaid volunteers are not considered to be "employees" under Title VIT. Additionally, many states, cities, and localities have adopted similar legislation. Generally, physical performance or other requirements that result in "adverse impact" on mem- bers of a protected class (e.g., on the basis of gender) are required to be validated through a study in accordance with EEOC guidelines, if such requirements are to be relied on in making employment decisions. Under EEOC guidelines, a study validating employment standards in one jurisdiction can be transportable to another jurisdiction (and therefore used in lieu of conducting a separate study). However, specific pre- conditions must be met in this regard, and the authority hav- ing jurisdiction should seek the advice of counsel before relying on a transported validation study. D-1.4 Pregnancy and Reproductive. Federal regulations, as well as many court decisions, including the U.S. Supreme Courts decision in International Union, et al. v. Johnson Controls, Inc. (499 U.S. 187, 111 S.Ce 1196 (1991)], have interpreted the requirements of Title V[I with respect to pregnancy and reproduction. The authority having jurisdiction should seek the advice of counsel in resolving specific questions concern- ing these requirements as well as other requirements that can be imposed by state or local laws. D-2 Choosing a Fire Department Physician. Several factors should be considered in choosing a fire department physician. There are relatively few physicians with formal residency train- ing and certification in occupational medicine. The fire depart- ment physician needs to be qualified to provide professional expertise in the areas of occupational safety and health as these areas relate to emergency services. For the purpose of conduct- ing medical evaluations, the fire department physician needs to understand the physiological and psychological demands placed on members and needs to understand the environmen- tal conditions under which members have to perform. 1582-12 Therefore. physicians with specialties other than occupa- tional need to be considered, as well as the physician's back- ground and expenence. Knowledge of occupauonal medicine and experience with occupational health programs, obviously, would be helpful. The physician has to be committed to meeting the require- ments of the program, including appropriate record keeping. His or her willingness to work with the department to contin- ually improve the program is also important. Finaliv, his or her concern and interest in the program and in the individuals in the department is vital. There are many options for obtaining, physician services. (a) Physicians could be paid on a service basis or through a contractual arrangement. (b) For volunteer departments, local physicians could be willing to volunteer their services for the program, with addi- uonal member arrangements for pavinent of laboratory test- ing, x-rays, and so forth. (c) Some departments could utilize a local health care faciliry for medical care. However, in that case, the department should be sure to have one individual physician responsible for the program, record keeping, and so forth. (d) In some cases, it could be possible to have the medical examination by the fire department physician, while some of the associated costs could be defrayed by the member's own health insurance. For example, the health insurance provider could allow the member to have a yearly physical, normally performed by the member's personal physician. The health care insurance provider could allow that physical to be per- formed by the fire department physician with some degree of reimbursement. D-3 Coordinating the Medical Evaluation Program. An indi- vidual from within the department should be assigned the. responsibility for managing the health and fitness program, including the coordination and scheduling of evaluations and examinations. This person should also act as liaison between the department and the physician to make sure that each has the information necessary for decisions about placement, scheduling appointments, and so forth. Confidentiality of all medical data is critical to the success of the program. Members need to feel assured that the infor- mation provided to the physician will not be inappropriately shared. No fire department supervisor or manager should have access to medical records without the express written consent of the member. There are occasions, however, when specific medical information is needed to make a decision about placement, return to work, and so forth, and a fire department manager must have more medical information for decision making. In that situation, written medical consent should be obtained from the individual to release the specific information necessary for that decision. Budgetary constraints can affect the medical program. Therefore, it is important that components of the program be prioritized such that essential elements are not lost. With addi- tional funding, other programs or testing can be added to enhance the program.

D-2 Choosing a Fire Department Physician. Several factors should be consid- ered in choosing a fire department physician. There are relatively few physi- cians with formal residency training and certification in occupational medicine. The fire department physician shall be qualified to provide pro- fessional expertise in the areas of occupational safety and health as they relate to emergency services. For the purpose of conducting medical evalua- tions, the fire department physician shall understand the physiological and psychological demands placed on fire fighters and shall understand the j environmental conditions under which fire fighters must perform. Therefore, physicians with other specialties need to be considered. The background and experience of the physician should be considered. Knowl- edge of occupational medicine and experience with occupational health programs obviously would be helpful. The physician must be committed to meeting the requirements of the pro- gram including appropriate record keeping. His/her willingness to work with the department to continually improve the program is also important. Finally, his/her concern and interest in the program and in the individuals in the department is vital. There are many options for obtaining physician services. They could be paid on a service basis or through a contractual arrangement. Forvolunteer departments, local physicians might be willing to volunteer their services for the program with additional arrangements to pay for laboratory testing, x- rays, and so forth. Some departments might want to utilize a local health care facility for their care. However, in that case, the department should be sur; to have one individual physician responsible for the program, record keeping, and so forth. 1n some cases it could be possible to have the medical examination by the fire department physician, while some of the associated costs could be defrayed by the fire fighter's own health insurance. For exam- ple, the health insurance provider might allow the fire fighter to have a yearly physical, normally performed by the fire fighter's personal physician. The health care insurance provider can allow that physical to be performed by the fire department physician with some degree of reimbursement. 2000 Edition (ii) The medical evaluation shall obtain the information requested by the questionnaire in Sections 1 and 2, Part A of Appendix C of this section.

The fire department shall pro- vide the fire department physician with a current job description for all fire deparrment positions and ranks. B-1 Occupational Safety and Health Problems for Fire Fighters. Fire fighting I and emergency response are very difficult jobs. People in these jobs per- form functions that are physically and psychologically very demanding. These functions are often performed under very difficult conditions. (See .appendix C.) Studies have shown that fire -fighting functions. require work. ing at near maximal heart rates for prolonged periods of time. Heavy pro- tecrive equipment (including respirators) and the heat from the fire contribute to this physical load. Fire fighters and emergency response personnel also are exposed to many toxic substances during their work. Carbon monoxide is the most common contaminant; studies have shown individual exposures as high as 5000 ppm in actual tires_ Other significant exposures common in fires include cya- nide, acrolein, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and benzene. The burning of plastics and other synthetic materials can expose fire fighters to other toxic materials such as isoeyanates and nitrosamines. Hazardous mate rials incidents can involve exposures to many other toxic materials. While the use of respirators helps to reduce exposures, mechanical, environmen- tal, and behavioral factors can limit their use during all phases of a fire. OSHA 1910.134 (e) Medical evaluation. Using a respirator may place a physiolo cal burden on employees that vanes with the type of respirator worn, the job and the workplace conditions in which the respirator is used. and the medical status of the employee. Accordingly, this paragraph specifies the minimum requirements for medi- cal evaluation that employers must implement to determine the employee's ability to use a respirator. (5) Supplemental information for the PLHCP (f) The following information must be pro- vided to the PLHCP before the PLHCP makes a recommendation concerning an employee's ability to use a respirator: (A) The type and weight of the respirator to be used by the employee; (B) The duration and frequency of respirator use (including arse for rescue and escape); (C) The expected physical work effort; 1(D) Additional protective clothing and equip- ment to be worn; and (E) Temperature and humidity extremes that be encountered. (ii) Any supplemental information provided previously to the PLHCP regarding an employee need not be provided for subse- quent medical evaluation if the information and the PLHCP remain the same. (iii) The employer shall provide the PLHCP with a copy of the written respiratory protec- tion program and a copy of this section. Note to paragraph (e) (5)(iii): When the employer replaces a PLHCP, the employer must ensure that the new PLHCP obtains this information, either by providing the docu- ments directly to the PLHCP or having the documents transferred from the former PLHCP to the new PLHCP. However, OSHA does not expect emplgyers to have employees medically re-evaluated solely because a new PLHCP has been selected. i Sheet 4 of 51 2000 Edition 1582-32 MEDIGkL REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS AND INFORM MON FOR FIRE DEP:\RTNIENT PI ItSICl.4uS Table D 4 Comparison of OSHA 29 CM Parts 1910.134, "Medical Requirements" and NFPA 1582, Standard on ,Wedical Requirements for Fin Fighters and Information for Fire Department Physiciaru, 2000 Edition (Continued) NTPA 1582 24.1 The current member shall be certified annually, or at the request of either the fire department or the member, by the fire department physician as meeting the medical requirements of Chapter 3 of this standard in order to determine that member's medical ability to continue participating in a training or emergency operational environment as a member.Any applica- ble OSKA, standards, such as 29 CM 1910.120, 'Hazardous VVyte Opera- tions and Emergency Response," 29 I:FR 1910.134, "Respiratory Protection," 29 CM 1910.95, "Occupational Noise Exposure," and 29 CFR 1910.1030, 'Bloodborne Pathogens," shall be followed. 2000 Edition OSHA 1910.134 (6) Medical determination. In determining the employee's ability to use a respirator, the employer shall: (i) Obtain a written recommendation regard- ing the empplovee's ability to use the respirator from the PLHCP. The recommendation shall provide only the following information: (A) Any limitations on respirator use related to the medical condition of the employee, or relating to the workplace conditions in which the respirator will be used, including whether or not the employee is medically able to use the respirator.; (B) The need, if any. for follow-up medical evaluations; and (C) A statement that the PLHCP has provided the employee with a copy of the PLHCP's writ- ten recommendation. (ii) If the respirator is negative a pressure res- pirator and the PLHCP finds a medical condi- tion that may place the employee's health at increased risk if the respirator is used, the employer shall provide a PAPR if the PL-ICP's medical evaluation finds that the employee can use such a respirator, if a subsequent med- ical evaluation finds that the employee is med- ically able to use a negative pressure respirator, then the employer is no longer required to provide a P R. (4) Administration of the medical question- naire and examinations. (i) The medical questionnaire and examina- tions shall be administered confidentially dur- ing the employee's normal working hours or at a time and place convenient to the employee. The medical questionnaire shall be adminis- tered in a manner that ensures that the employee understands its content. (ii) The employer shall provide the employee with an opportunity to discuss the question- naire and the examination results with the PLHCP.
