🇦🇺👩🏼🚒 NSWFR Functional Fitness Assessment
Is your site selection and fitness criteria fit-for-purpose for your crews?
Are they:
1. Functional (to the role)
2. Measured (with metrics for member action or merely PASS/FAIL)
3. Realistic (simulations to reflect the combined stress and fatigue experiences for members who respond to incidents).
Do your members undergo yearly fitness reviews and screens each year, or even better every six months? To help lessen injury rates or operator burnout a realistic and functional fitness assessment should be tailored to the demands of the role.
This is common practice in The Australian Defence Force where members who fail fitness assessments are coached and guided over a period of time to reach the minimum standards of the job role.
Lastly, would a functional fitness screening and review process help to lower workplace injuries, promote a stronger workplace emergency culture and overall teamwork?
