Roadside Safety Issues

Emergency responses to road and highway incidents are some of the most dangerous work faced by firefighters and emergency medical personnel. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), on average, 23 roadside workers and first responders are killed in motor vehicle-related crashes on the roadside, with hundreds of others suffering injuries from the same. Blocking with a fire apparatus can help protect fire and EMS personnel, but that's only one aspect of an overall system of strategies and tactics for highway incident response. As we will discuss in this course, there are several tactics responders should implement to provide opportunities for a safer roadside incident work area.
