SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose: The purpose of this web-based meeting and docket is to
request public comment from the fire service community and interested
parties on the NIOSH Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention
Program (FFFIPP).
Matters To Be Considered: NIOSH will provide a brief presentation
and will facilitate discussion on the following two topics: (1) The
primary audiences for NIOSH line-of-duty death investigation reports
and the strengths and weaknesses of those reports, including report
content, format, and length; and (2) specific feedback on how the NIOSH
FFFIPP prioritization guideline for planning investigations can be
enhanced to meet the needs of the fire service community.
Additional time will be given for invited and registered
participants to bring other topics to the attention to the NIOSH
FFFIPP.
Background: Since its inception in 1998, the NIOSH FFFIPP has held
periodic meetings to seek input about the program with the fire service
community and interested parties. These meetings have been an important
component of the program and are vital to ensure the program is meeting
the needs and expectations of those it serves. The FFFIPP has posted
the results of these periodic meetings on its website at: <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/fire/abouttheprogram/ourworkreviewed/ourworkreviewed.html">https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/fire/abouttheprogram/ourworkreviewed/ourworkreviewed.html</a>.
