F2T 307 – Fire Fighter Injuries: Not Just a Fire Ground Problem

Fire Fighters injuries are not just a fire ground problem. In fact, the most common injuries – those to the knees, back, and shoulders – occur while training, exercising, and performing station-related activities. This webinar will review the scope of the injury problem, discuss how fire fighter injuries occur, and highlight opportunities that exist to reduce the risk of injury and any associated costs. Several practical tips will also be shared that can help every fire fighter navigate the demands of the job injury-free throughout their career.

Our eating behaviors are strongly influenced by so Our eating behaviors are strongly influenced by social context. In other words, what and how we eat tends to reflect the eating habits of our closest social connections – family, friends, peers. For fire fighters, this means that a department’s culture and the established social norms around eating can influence the dietary habits of an entire crew, station, etc., particularly when there is a desire for social acceptance. A recent paper published in the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that fire fighters consumed approximately 20% more calories when on shift in comparison to days off. While findings such as this may highlight the potential role that social eating norms play in the development and maintenance of obesity, they should also prompt optimism as these same norms can serve as targets for novel interventions to encourage healthier eating! #eatingbehaviors #eatinghabits #eatrealfood #foodculture #socialnorms #weightloss #preventobesity #health #firefighterwellness #firefighter #iaffwfi #iaffpeerfitness #firefighternutrition #performanceredefined #fittothrive
