Abstract:
As part of their missions, firefighters are exposed to a multitude of risks that can impact their health. Sensitive to this health and safety issue, the departmental fire and rescue service of Seine-et-Marne has designed and deployed a doctrine of health and safety support in operation. The members of the sub-directorate of the departmental fire and rescue service are the main actors in this process. The implementation of health support for firefighters in response relies mainly on the firefighter nurse. Indeed, the latter is led to develop, beyond his nursing practice, skills related to the analysis of health risks and the deployment of preventive and curative actions on intervention.
