Hi, I wouyld like to see if there are others out here that think we have gone too far pulling the safety card? Our wellness committee has decided that we are not going to do the pack test this year because we might kill somebody. However, we were able to do the pack test if we wanted to for pt. So i did, now it just came from the committee that we are not allowed to do the pack test for pt or any other reason while on duty. This is to keep us safer and healther. This is information and not open for discussion. per the committee. Really? It was passed down from the chief that it is mandatory to pt. but now we pt too much?. From what i have learned that there has been 11 firefighters die while doing the pack test. All of which did nothing to prepare for it or already had an existing condition before doing the pack test. Shouldn't we encourage our folks to get inshape and do something to challange our bodies to be prepared for the strenous work we preform?
I hate the pack test too but i work hard to prepare to get ready for it. Are we going backwards?
Thanks
