Risk Management in the Fire Service

Risk management is the responsible supervision of an activity, operation, or process so as to minimize the potential for loss and to maximize safety for all of those involved. This book defines risk management and the aspects of loss, including safety committees, accident investigation, risk management on the fireground, and the issues surrounding sexual harassment. Learn how to manage these problems, avoiding confrontation and possible risk exposure in the future, with specific examples of common departmental loss exposures.
