National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; Human Factors Considerations for the Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program

Resumen

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in the Department of Health and Human Services, requests feedback about its Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program (FFFIPP) investigation and report process for traumatic injuries. NIOSH is interested in how human factors might be considered during investigations including but not limited to communication, team dynamics, psychological stress, and safety culture, and how these factors impact decision-making during responses. If applicable, information will be used to improve reporting templates and processes to provide a holistic lens into the causes and prevention of line-of- duty deaths (LODD).
