Appendix A This Appendix is not a part of the requirements of this NFpA docu- ment, but is included for information purposes only. A-14 Approved. The National Fire Protection Associa- tion does not approve, inspect or certify any installations, procedures, equipment, or materials nor does it approve or evaluate testing laboratories. In determining the accept- ability of installations or procedures, equipment or materi- als, the authority having jurisdiction may base acceptance on compliance with NFPA or other appropriate standards. In the absence of such standards, said authority may require evidence of proper installation, procedure or use. The authority having jurisdiction may also refer to the list- ings or labeling practices of an organization concerned with product evaluations which is in a position to deter- mine compliance with appropriate standards for the cur- rent production of listed items. A-1-4 Authority Having Jurisdiction. The phrase "authority having jurisdiction" is used in NFPA documents in a broad manner since jurisdictions and "approval" agen- cies vary as do their responsibilities. Where public safety is primary, the "authority having jurisdiction" may be a fed- eral, state, local or other regional department or individual such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor department, 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 "authority having jurisdiction." In many circumstances the property owner or his desig- nated agent assumes the role of the "authority having juris- diction"; at government installations, the commanding officer or departmental official may be the "authority hav- ing jurisdiction." A-1-4 Candidate. In an employment context, the Ameri- cans With Disabilities Act (discussed in further "detail in Appendix D) requires that any medical examination to be conducted take place after an offer of employment is made and prior to the commencement of duties. Therefore, in the employment context, the definition of "candidate" should be applied so as to be consistent with that requirement. Volunteer•'ftre fighters have been deemed to be "employees" in some states or jurisdictions. Volunteer fire departments should seek legal counsel as to their legal responsibilities in these matters.

A-2-4.3 See Section D-I in Appendix D. -2-5.3 See Section D-1 in Appendix D. A -Chapter 3 The medical conditions listed are organized by organ system. With the listing of a condition, a diagnos- tic example is often included to help the examiner under- stand the type of condition that might result in rejection or acceptance. In addition, the rationale for the exclusion is presented in terms of the affect of the medical condition on the capability of the person to perform as a fire fighter.

Appendix B Guide for Fire Department Physicians This Appendix is not a part of the requirements of this NFPA docu- ment, but is included for information purposes only. B-I Introduction. This information is designed to help physicians implement the requirements of this standard. The appendix includes sections on the occupational health risks for fire fighters, organization of a medical program for fire fighters, guidance for conducting the examinations, and further information on medical conditions that might cause difficulties when implementing this standard. The medical conditions outlined in Chapter 2 apply to individuals conducting essential fire fighting functions. (See Appendix C.) The application of these guidelines to individ- uals with other fire department jobs requires a careful con- sideration of the job duties of these other individuals and medical conditions that might affect a person's ability to conduct those duties. B-2 Occupational Safety and Health Problems for Fire Fighters. Fire fighting and emergency response are very difficult jobs. People in these jobs must perform functions that are physically and psychologically very demanding. These functions must often be performed under very diffi- cult conditions. (See Appendix C.) Studies have shown that fire fighting functions require working at near maximal heart rates for prolonged periods of time. Heavy protective 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. Car- bon monoxide is the most common contaminant; studies have shown individual exposures as high as 5000 ppm in actual fires. Other significant exposures common in fires include cyanide, acrolein, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and benzene. The burning of plastics and other synthetic materials may expose fire fighters to other toxic materials such as isocyanates and nitrosamines. Hazardous materials incidents may involve exposures to many other toxic materials. While the use of respirators helps to reduce exposures, mechanical, environmental, and behavioral fac- tors may limit their use during all phases of a fire. . The available health data on fire fighters are limited. While the protection for fire fighters has improved over the last several years, exposures may be changing due to the introduction of more synthetic materials. Given the delay between exposure and onset of many occupational illnesses (i.e., latency), current or past health studies of fire fighters may not reflect future health risks. These limita- tions should be recognized when reviewing the available studies. Available data indicate that fire fighters have increased risk for injuries, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and noise -induced hearing loss. The increased risk for injuries is expected, given the demands and circum- stances for this work. -Fatalities and serious injuries from burns or other fire scene hazards may occur. The risk for respiratory disease occurs due to the respi- ratory damage caused by many of the components of fire smoke (particulate, acrolein, nitrogen oxides, etc.). Acute reductions in pulmonary function and even hypoxemia are not uncommon after fires, even in asymptomatic fire fight- ers. 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 fire fighters over time while others have not been able to detect this change. Increased use of protective equipment and job selection factors (ill fire fighters transferring to other duties) may account for these inconsistent findings. The strenuous work demands of firefighting combined with exposures to carbon monoxide and other toxic sub- stances may increase the risk for cardiovascular disease among fire fighters. Acute respiratory changes also may stress the cardiovascular system. This increased cardiovas- cular disease risk has been documented even in some mor- tality studies despite the job selection factors that tend to mask any increase when compared to the general popula- tion. Other studies have not detected this risk. Certainly, the combination of the physical stress of fire fighting and exposures for a -person with preexisting coronary heart dis- ease would be expected to increase the risk of a myocardial 1992 Edition 1582-18 MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS 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. �;ncreased cancer risk for fire fighters has been found in eral recent studies. While not totally consistent, these studies generally show an increased risk of brain cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, and leukemia among fire fighters in many different parts of the world. Increased incidence of other cancer sites has also been shown in some studies. Several studies are currently underway to further evaluate this risk. Noise -induced hearing loss has now been documented in several studies of fire fighters. Fire fighters may also be at risk from other specific exposures including infectious diseases and liver, kidney, or neurological damage from exposure to specific chemicals. B-3 Guidance for Medical Evaluations. B-3.1 Preplacement and Base Line Medical Evaluations. Preplacement medical evaluations assess an individual's 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 per- forming the job, including the ability to wear protective equipment required for the job. The evaluation should also identify any health problems that could be substantially aggravated by the physical demands and working condi- tions. Base line medical information concerning the appli- cant's health status can then be compared to subsequent evaluation results for the purpose of determining whether the individual has any significant health trends that may be occupationally related. :'wo types of information are essential fora medical pre- p4cement evaluation for those performing fire fighter duties. First, the physician must understand the working conditions and physical demands of this occupation. Appendix C provides a list of the environment encoun- tered in fire fighting and emergency response. The physi- cian should also obtain additional information from the fire department such as specific job duties and task lists if the fire department has conducted a validation study or job analysis and should be familiar with the organization of the fire department. For the evaluation of some medical condi- tions, the physician will need to obtain further information about specific job duties in order to make a determination. This may require on -site inspections and consultation with fire department personnel. Secondly, the physician needs to have accurate informa- tion about the person's disease or medical condition, the functional limitations associated with that condition, and an understanding of how physical demands and working conditions would impact on that condition. An accurate diagnosis is often the key factor in determining the per- son's capability. For example, different skin diseases may have similar clinical appearances but may markedly differ in their response to environmental exposures. The physi- cian must also recognize that individual variability may exist between persons with the same clinical condition. Upon completion of the examination, the physician should inform the authority having jurisdiction if the applicant is medically qualified to perform as a fire fighter. �1 I Edition B-3.2 Periodic Medical Evaluations. The periodic medi- cal evaluation is designed to evaluate the person's continued ability to perform their duties and to detect any other signif- icant changes in the condition of their health. The latter includes possible job -related changes or abnormalities. Every year, each fire fighter will be medically evaluated by the fire department physician. This medical evaluation includes an update on the fire fighter's medical history, including any significant changes, a brief review of symp- toms, 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 fire, fighter's medical condition. A more thorough evaluation, including a medical exam- ination, is conducted on a periodic basis. For individuals less than 30 years of age, the medical evaluation and exam- ination is conducted every three years; for those 30 to 39, every two years; and for those 40 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, uri- nalysis, and blood biochemistry (SMA). The use of chest X-rays in surveillance activities in the absence of significant exposures, symptoms, or medical findings has not been shown to reduce respiratory or other health impairment. Therefore, only Preplacement chest X-rays are recommended. No. firm guidelines for stress electrocardiography in asymptomatic individuals have been developed. There have been problems with false positive results from this testing, especially in younger age groups. In those with one or more risk factors for coronary artery disease, there may be more justification for performing the testing. At this time, stress tests may be considered on an individual basis depending on age (over 40) and the presence of coronary artery disease risk factors (premature family history [less than 551, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smok- ing, and hypercholesterolemia [total cholesterol greater than 240 or HDL cholesterol less than 35]). Testing can also be done as indicated for those with symptoms sugges- tive of coronary artery disease as reported in their yearly medical histories or interim reports. B-3.3 Content of the Medical Evaluation. B-3.3.1 Medical and Occupational History. The medical history should cover the person's known health problems, such as major illnesses, surgeries, medication use, allergies, etc. Symptom review is also important for detecting early signs of illness. In addition, a comprehensive medical his- tory should include a personal health history, a family health history, a health habit history, an immunization his- tory, and a reproductive history. An occupational history should also be obtained to co#ect information about the person's past occupational and environmental exposures. APPENDIX B 1582-19 i. B-3.3.2 Medical Examination. The medical examination includes the following organ systems: (a) Vital signs: Pulse, respirations, blood pressure, and, if indicated, temperature. (b) Dermatological system... (c) Ears, eyes, nose, mouth, throat. (d) Cardiovascular system. (e) Respiratory system, (f) Gastrointestinal system. (g) Genitourinary system. (h) Endocrine and metabolic systems. (i) Musculoskeletal system. 6) Neurological system.. , (k) Audiometry. (1) Visual acuity and peripheral vision testing. (m) Pulmonary function testing. (n) Laboratory testing, if indicated. (o) Diagnostic imaging, if indicated. (p) Electrocardiography, if indicated. B-3-3.2.1 Laboratory Tests., Base line CBC, biochemical test battery (SMA), and urinalysis should be conducted for detecting specific illnesses as well as developing a base line for later comparison. B-3-3.2.2 X-Raya. A base line chest X-ray may be helpful for individuals with a history of respiratory health prob- lems or symptoms. For others, it may be useful for later comparison: B-3-3.2.3 Pulmonary Function Testing, Pulmonary function testing may be helpful for individuals with a his- tory of respiratory health problems and as a base line for later comparison. A base line test should be administered by an experienced person. Only a spirogram that is techni- cally acceptable and demonstrates the best efforts by an individual should be used to calculate the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one sec- ond (FEVI). B-3-3.2.4 Audiometry. Audiograms should be per- formed in an ANSI -approved "soundproof' booth (ANSI S3.1-1977) with equipment calibrated to ANSI standards (ANSI S3.6-1973). If a booth is unavailable, the test room sound pressure levels should not exceed those specified in the federal OSHA noise regulations (29 CFR 1910.95). B-3-3.2.5 Electrocardiography. Base line electrocardio- graphy should be conducted. B-3.4 Reporting the Results of the Medical Evaluation. All individuals participating in a medical evaluation should p be informed ahead of time about the purpose of the med- ical evaluation and the content of the exam. The results of any medical evaluation are considered to be confidential medical information subject to customary patient -physician confidentiality restrictions. Under most circumstances, results and recommendations arising frothe evaluation should be expressed in general terms withom ut specific diag- nostic information. In cases where more specific informa- tion is needed in order to make a decision on the status of a candidate or fire fighter, a specific consent form releasing that information should be obtained from the candidate or ` fire fighter. Blanket or general "release of medical infor- mation" forms should not be used. In most cases, a simple statement will suffice: Based on the results of the preplacement medical evaluation of December 10, 1990, Jane Doe is (or is NOT) medically certified to engage in training and emergency operations for Anytown Fire Department. OR Based on the results of the preplacement medical evaluation of December 10, 1990, John Doe is NOT medically certified to engage in training and emer- gency operations for Anytown Fire Department. He has been advised of the medical reasons for this rec- ommendation and of the, policies and procedures available to him if he disagrees with the results of the medical evaluation. B-3.5 Second Opinions. Fire department policies and procedures should allow for a medical "second opinion" when a candidate or fire fighter disagrees with the results or recommendations of a medical examination conducted by the fire department physician or when the fire depart- ment physician is uncertain about the limitations or prog- nosis of the individual's condition. Often other physicians will not be familiar with the duties and demands of fire fighting and emergency response. When possible, the fire department physician should help educate the other phy- sician about how the individuals condition may affect or be affected by fire fighting. If there is still disagreement about the condition or placement recommendation, a third phy- sician (acceptable to both the fire department and the can- didate) may be consulted. B-4 Specific Medical Conditions. B-4.1 Diabetes. The term insulin -dependent diabetes as used here applies to an individual whose disease course is characterized by an absolute need for insulin with a ten- dency toward ketoacidosis or marked hyperglycemia and insulin -induced hypoglycemia. The latter condition is the major concern, as an individual who becomes hypoglyce- mic during a fire or other emergency response could endanger themselves, other fire fighters, or the public. The best predictor for the occurrence of a hypoglycemic epi- sode in a diabetic is a history of a previous episode. On the other hand, the occasional individual treated with insulin for what would normally be considered maturity -onset dia- betes (Type 1I) may be considered if there has been a doc- umented stable course without a history of hypoglycemic episodes, and where ongoing monitoring is assured. B-4.2 Asthma. Asthma and asthma -like conditions are characterized by variable and often rapidly fluctuating air- ways obstruction, cough, and sputum production. Condi- tions encountered in fire fighting (irritants, hot/cold air inhalation, and heavy exertion) may trigger asthmatic attacks in some individuals. However, asthmatics with a sta- ble history of symptoms (i.e., only after respiratory infec- tions or exposure to usually avoidable allergens) may not have attacks triggered by fire fighting. For a current fire fighter with preexisting or new onset asthma, their past response to fire fighting episodes may provide guidance on 1992 Edition 1582-20 MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS their ability to continue to work. It should be noted that exposure to products of combustion and other irritants may cause acute airways obstruction in many individuals. without asthma. Therefore, the mere presence of some air- 1vays obstruction after a fire does not necessarily indicate hat an asthmatic condition exists. B-4.3 Coronary Artery Disease. Due to the high preva- lence of this condition and the changing diagnostic tech- nology, this category may cause difficulty. Most individuals with coronary artery disease should not be doing fire fight- ing tasks. An example of an acceptable person with coro- nary artery disease would be an asymptomatic individual with insignificant coronary artery disease (less than 70 per- cent obstruction of any coronary artery) with normal left ventricular function and no evidence of myocardial ischemia at maximal exercise tolerance as determined by Thallium imaging, echocardiography, or a comparable technique. B-4.4 Reproductive. Exposures in the fire fighting envi- ronment may cause adverse reproductive effects for both males and females. Medical evidence exists to indicate that chemical exposure, heat, noise, and physical exertion may affect various endpoints of reproductive health including fertility, fetal loss, and growth parameters of the offspring. All candidates and fire fighters should be educated about these risks and about the need to take appropriate steps to limit their exposures. There also may be some situations where a male or female fire fighter is attempting to con- ceive a child and is having difficulty. In these situations, where a complete medical evaluation has not identified another cause for this infertility, temporary assignment on a voluntary basis to alternative duty or a leave of absence should be considered. Medical evidence exists that certain toxic substances or conditions that are present in the fire fighting environment are dangerous to the safety and well-being of the fetus. Therefore, it is important to educate all fire fighters about these risks and the reasons for recommending that pregnant fire fighters restrict their fire suppression activities. For example, there is good evidence that the fetus is especially sensitive to carbon monoxide, a known significant compo- nent of fire smoke. Although the use of SCBA is assumed to be protective, sometimes such equipment is not used throughout a fire suppression or hazardous materials inci- dent. The use of such equipment also increases other fetal stressors, such as exertion and heat. Other concerns are those involving physical work. Prolonged standing, 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 fire fighter who may be pregnant should obtain early pregnancy testing. Rec- ognizing potential risks to the fetus from the fire fighting environment is a relatively recent event, and many fire fight- ers may not be aware of these risks. Based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision (Interns - howl Union, et al. v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 59 U.S.L.W. 4209, March 20, 1991), the ability to perform as a fire fighter is to be the basis for the medical certification. without consider- ation of health risks to the fetus. However, the pregnant fire fighter should be counseled of the potential risks to her fetus due to her exposures during fire fighting duties. . IM Edition Any fire fighter. who becomes pregnant should be offered the opportunity at any time during the pregnancy to be voluntarily removed from fire fighting duties and from other duties involving the hazards or physical stress that might endanger the fetus. If practical, the fire fighter should be offered voluntarily reassignment town alterna- tive position. At such time as the pregnant fire fighter can no longer be medically certified as being capable of per- forming fire fighting duties, the fire fighter should be re- assigned to other duties. At such time as the fire fighter is no longer pregnant, the fire fighter should be reinstated to the position held prior to being pregnant. Nursing fire fighters should also be advised about the potential expo- sures to their infants. B-4.5 Noise -Induced Hearing Loss. This category may pose difficulties because a high percentage of current fire fighters have noise -induced hearing loss due to their expo- sures as fire fighters. Implementation of hearing conserva- tion programs and programs to reduce noise exposures should lead to a decrease in the prevalence of this condi- tion in the future. Appendix C Essential Fire Fighting Functions This Appendix is not a Part of the requirements of this NFPA docu- meni, but is included for information purposes only. The medical requirements in this standard were based on in-depth consideration of essential fire fighting func- tions. These essential functions are what fire fighters are expected to perform at emergency incidents and are derived from the performance objectives stated in NFPA 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications. Such essential functions are performed in and affected by the following environmental factors: (a) Operate both as a member of a team and indepen- dently at incidents of uncertain duration. (b) Spend extensive time outside exposed to the elements. (c) Tolerate extreme fluctuations in temperature while performing duties. Must perform physically demanding work in hot (up to 4007), humid (up to 100%) atmo- spheres while wearing equipment that significantly impairs body -cooling mechanisms. (d) Experience frequent transition from hot to cold and from humid to dry atmospheres. (e) Work in wet, icy, or muddy areas. (f) Perform a variety of tasks on slippery, hazardous sur- faces such as on rooftops or from ladders. (9) Work in areas where sustaining traumatic or thermal injuries is possible. (h) Face exposure to carcinogenic dusts such as asbes- tos, toxic substances such as hydrogen cyanide, acids, car- bon monoxide, or organic solvents either through inhala- tion or skin contact. (i) Face exposure to infectious agents such as hepatitis B or HIV. (j) , Wear personal protecdveequipment that weighs approx- imately 50 pounds while performing fire fighting tasks. APPENDIX D 1582-21 (k) Perform physically demanding work while wearing positive pressure breathing equipment with 1.5 inches of water column resistance to exhalation at a flow of 40 liters per minute. (1) Perform complex tasks during life -threatening emer gencies. (m) Work for long periods of time, requiring sustained physical activity and intense concentration. (n) Face life or death decisions during emergency con- ditions. (o) Be exposed to grotesque sights and smells associated with major trauma and burn victims. (p) Make rapid transitions from rest to near maximal exertion without warm-up periods. (q) Operate in environments of high noise. -poor visibil- ity, limited mobility, at heights, and in enclosed or con- fined spaces. (r) Use manual and power tools in the performance of duties. (s) Rely on senses of sight, hearing, smell, and touch to help determine the nature of the emergency, maintain per- sonal safety, and make critical decisions in a confused, cha- otic, and potentially life -threatening environment through- out the duration of the operation. Appendix D Guide for Fire Department Administrators This Appendix is not a part of the requirements of this NFPA docu- ment, but is included for information purposes only. D-1 Legal Considerations in Applying the Standard. The consideration of an application or continued employ- ment of a fire fighter based on medical or physical perfor- mance evaluations involves a determination that is not without legal implications. To this end, prior to making an adverse employment decision based on the foregoing stan- dard, the authority with jurisdiction may wish to consult with counsel. (a) 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 against those with handicaps or disabilities under any pro- gram receiving financial assistance from the federal gov- ernment. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-336, to become effective in July 1992, will also pro- hibit employment discrimination by certain private employers against individuals with disabilities.* In addi- tion, many states have enacted legislation prohibiting dis- crimination against those with handicaps or disabilities. *Under Section 101 of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, an "employer" is defined, generally, to include those persons with "15 or more employees for each working day in each of 20 or more cal- endar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year." However, for the first two years after enactment in July 1992, a phase -in period increases the "15 or more employees" threshold to "25 or more employees." 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 reason- able 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 this standard have been shown to be job -related by a committee comprised of med- ical doctors, physiological specialists, and fire service pro- fessionals, 'as processed through the NFPA consensus standards -making system. The standard provides, to the extent feasible, that decisions concerning those with medi- cal ailments, handicaps, or disabilities be made after case - by -case medical evaluations. The medical requirements in this standard were devel- oped based on the fire fighting functions contained in Appendix C. Prior to use, therefore, appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that the fire fighting functions performed in the local jurisdiction are substantially similar to those contained in Appendix C. (b) 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 Opportunity Commission prohibit discrimination in employment on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, or national origin (i.e., protected classes).** Additionally, many states, cities, and localities have adopted similar leg- islation. Generally, physical performance or other require- ments that result in "adverse impact" on members 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 mak- ing employment decisions. Under EEOC guidelines, a study validating employment standards in one jurisdiction may be transportable to another jurisdiction (and therefore used in lieu of conducting a separate study). However, spe- cific preconditions must be met in this regard, and the authority having jurisdiction should seek the advice of counsel before relying on a transported validation study. (c) Pregnancy and Reproductive. Federal regulations, as well as many court decisions (including the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in International Union, et at. v. Johnson Con- trols, Inc., 59 U.S.L.W. 4209, March 20, 1991), have inter- preted the requirements of Title VII with respect to preg- nancy and reproduction. The authority having jurisdiction should seek the advice of counsel in resolving specific ques- tions concerning these requirements as well as other requirements that may be imposed by state or local laws. **Under Title VII, an "employer' is defined, generally, to mean a person with "I5 or more employees for each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year." See 42 U.S.C. 2000e. Several federal jurisdictions have held that unpaid volunteers are not considered to be "employees" under Title VII. 1992 Edition --15V►W2 MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS D-2 Choosing a Fire Department Physician. Several fac- tors should be considered in choosing a fire department physician. There are relatively few physicians with formal idency training and certification in occupational medi- Therefore, physicians with other specialties need to considered. The background and experience of the physician should be considered. Knowledge of occupa- tional medicine and experience with occupational health programs obviously would be helpful. The physician must be committed to meeting the requirements of the program including appropriate record keeping. Their willingness to work with the department to continually improve the program is also important. Finally, their concern and interest in the program and in the indi- viduals in the department is vital. There are many options for obtaining physician services. They could be paid on a service basis or through a contrac- tual arrangement. For volunteer departments, local physi- cians may be willing to volunteer their services for the pro- gram with additional arrangements to pay for laboratory testing, X-rays, etc. Some departments may want to utilize a local health care facility for their care. However, in that case, the department should be sure to have one individual physician responsible for the program, record keeping, etc. D-3 Coordinating the Medical Evaluation Program. An individual from within the department should be assigned the responsibility for managing the health and fitness pro- gram, including the coordination and scheduling of evalu- ations 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, etc. Confidentiality of all medical data is critical to the suc- cess of the program. Members must feel assured that the information provided to the physician will not be inappro- priately shared. No fire department supervisor or manager should have access to medical records without the express written consent of the member. There are occasions when specific medical information is needed to make a decision about placement, return to work, etc., and a fire depart- ment manager must have more medical information. In that situation, written medical consent should be obtained from the individual to release the specific information nec- essary for that decision. Budgetary constraints may affect the medical program. Therefore, it is important that components of the program be prioritized such that essential elements are not lost. With additional funding, other programs or testing can be added to enhance the program. Index O 1992 National Fire Protection Association, All Rights Reserved.
