Is Safety Really First for Responders?

ski patrol tram rescue safety — Safety is important but is it paramount?

Safety should be third for first responders according to this august panel of disaster and EMS docs. On the show with co-hosts Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis are Christopher Davis, MD, NRP, FAWM , Seth Collings Hawkins, MD, FAEMS, FACEP, MFAWM , Sarah Frances McClure, DO, NRP , Benjamin Abo, DO, EMT-P, FAWM. We also have our disaster weather and emergency management experts on with Kyle Nelson.

Seth and the team of doctors pose the theory that Safety Third is a better mantra than safety first. We discuss their viewpoint on the show and talk about the importance of risk management and awareness in order to get our jobs done.
