Both paramedics and firefighters go through extensive hands on training through their classes. Both paramedics and firefighters have to know how to properly wear and use personal protective equipment (PPE). This equipment protects firemen from extreme heat from fires and protects paramedics from body fluids and diseases. Both wear PPE, but their PPE is much different. Firefighters wear oversized pants, jackets, helmet, gloves, boots, and sometimes airpacks depending on the call type.
Leadership is a process. An excerpt from the US Army defines leadership as a process of influencing other people by provision of motivation, purpose and direction in order to achieve organization goals and improve its mission (Field manual, 2005). The US Army leadership is a hierarchical structure whereby instructions come from the top, and the communicated through a variety of channels within the barracks until a local administrator delivers them directly to the low ranking soldiers. In this context, an Army leader is one by virtual of assigned responsibility or role inspires people to achieve institutions' goals and endeavors. Army leader motivates both within and outside the cycle of command to pursue actions and steer decisions for the greater good of the mission.
To make informed choices and implement suitable training, I analyse the risks associated with duties the employees are required to undertake. I research best practise for each area from information available from the HSE regulations and guidance and relevant Approved Codes of Practise. I have also completed appropriate training courses to enable me to make informed judgements of training requirements and devise training courses or organise externally as necessary. I have for example, completed advanced fire risk assessment training (68) to enable me to carry out fire safety training, and implement suitable and sufficient risk assessments. Additionally I have attended the Hazardous Area Equipment, Legislation & Safe Practice course provided by SIRA to understand the requirements for Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR).
There are certain techniques that need to take place to successfully control FIRE. Its is very important that a fire fighter knows how to effectively attack and extinguish structure fires, vehicle fires, refuse fire, and wild fires. When suppressing structure fires , this must be done by using rescue operation, forcible entry , ventilation, utilities control, loss control, cause determination and recovery efforts. Firefighters need to be able to carry out assignments in a timely manner, and work properly with crew members. Each crew member should have a high level of situational awareness before entering a burning building.
Outcome 1: understand how to plan work and be accountable to others. 1.1 Outline guidelines, procedures codes of practice relevant to personal work. There are a number of guidelines and procedures in place to enable me to do my job not only to the best of my ability but in a professional manner. Whilst on the reception area, there are procedures that need to be followed relating to various aspects of the job including correct procedures to answer the phone, use sage, filing things away, doing purchase orders etc. All the steps and guidelines for everything are kept in a PowerPoint I made that is basically a step by step tutorial on what to do for each thing.
Many certified first responders are trained firefighters, lifeguards, athletic trainers, police officers or park rangers. A first responder is usually the first to arrive at the scene of an accident. He or she must be able to assess a patient's condition and be able to aid using basic first aid. The situations a certified first responder might experience range from childbirth to major accidents where individuals may have lost a large amount of blood. First responders are also trained in controlling blood loss and securing broken limbs.
As part of my BASIC training, I along with all my other colleagues was subjected to rigorous fitness and survival tests that we were required to not only pass, but PERFECT. I hold in my arsenal the ability to recognize major trauma and provide first aid, b. Lesser things. When pulling my 40 hour shifts at the fire station back when the world was not a post apocalyptic mess, I was forced to learn how to cook for myself, one of the many things we firemen are also required to know
As Program Manager, what did Jack Smith do that was effective? Jack did a number of things well in his effort to complete the joint venture engine development project between Chrysler and BMW. Jack effectively sought the help of other experienced product developers to help him in the transition to his new role. In doing so he was able to gain the executive support needed to accomplish tasks in a timely manner. Jack also did well to outline the expectations of the project by means of “The Contract Book”.
This is because in the military it is the matter of life or death consequences. Military leaders need the obedience of their soldiers to follow their orders so that a mission can be accomplished. This requires military leaders to possess strong leadership qualities.

Recruitment is informed by human resources planning, job analysis, and job design and it serves as the foundation for effective selection, compensation and benefits, as well as for training, development and performance appraisal (Youssef, 2012). Then there is the Equal Employment Opportunity act and Affirmative Action act that focus on the laws and regulations that all organizations have to abide by. Also there is the selection method which is the process of choosing the right candidate to fill each position that best suits every employee. Human Resource development consists of two types of development leadership and career. Benefits and compensation is what they have to offer the best candidate that will fill the position.
