SUMMARY:Webinar: First Responders’ Role in Human Trafficking Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Human trafficking is thought to be done under cover when in reality it is often done right out in the open. Since first responders run a variety of calls\, they are in a unique position to spot and identify cases of human trafficking if they know what to look for. One way to P.A.V.E. a path to freedom for victims is by checking our Posture\, Attitude\, Verbiage\, and Empathy before we walk into any call. Join Mark Brende of iEmpathize for this webinar focused on understanding the issue of human trafficking\, how to recognize human trafficking scenarios while on a call\, and what to know about your response protocols and response partners to get victims the help they need.

SUMMARY:Roundtable Talk: Proposed OSHA Standard Update and What it Means for Volunteer Fire Departments
DESCRIPTION:Panelists: David Denniston\, Bruce Lundegren\, Joseph Maruca\, Ryan Woodward (moderator) \nOn February 5\, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published a proposed rule revising its emergency response standard. This is the first time OSHA revised this standard since 1980\, and the public has until May 6 to provide comments. If enacted as is\, this proposed rule would bring immense challenges to volunteer departments\, and some may even be forced to shut down. It is important that the volunteer fire service understand how this rule would impact them and provide their comments to OSHA before May 6. This NVFC Roundtable Talk will highlight some of the biggest concerns with the proposed revised emergency standard\, discuss which volunteers will be impacted\, explain the NVFC’s strategy for addressing the proposed revision\, and suggest best practices for departments wishing to comment on the revisions. \nThe text of the proposed revised OSHA emergency response standard and information on how to submit comments can be found here. \nRegister.
