The world of EMS and Fire first responders is changing. As we witness a shocking rise in the number of first responders facing violent attacks, the time has come to consider better ways to protect the life and health of medical providers in situations that expose them to risks. This video provides an overview of the case for expanding your definition of "PPE" to include ballistic protection or body armor that has been tailored to provide maximum protection, while still allowing the physical range of motion that medical providers require.
When you are making the choice for the right protection to include in your everyday wear ballistic PPE, it's important to consider the most likely threats you will face and prioritize your gear accordingly. This quick video from North American Rescue gives you some facts to consider when you're looking at how you want to prep your gear.
An important consideration for fire and EMS is how to implement body armor policies and procedures. Body armor is becoming standard PPE for many fire and EMS agencies as the working environment becomes more dangerous.
The design of a ballistic vest is crucial to ensure maximum protection while allowing the user to perform their duties. A ballistic vest designed for patient care requires a different approach than a standard law enforcement vest.
