HAZARDS RELATED TO ACTIVITIES OF FIRE-RESCUE DEPARTMENT MEMBERS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

Today, being a member of the Fire-Rescue Department (FRD) is challenging as it is a risky and professionally demanding job, which often requires an individual schedule both in terms of physical condition and psychological knowledge as well as safety and health protection at work. Apart from the standard services provided by the FRD and the integrated rescue system, their members also participated in hundreds of interventions during emergencies and crisis situations to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on society.
