1582

Our history with NFPA 1582, originated when Division Chief, Tamara (Tammy) Lopes introduced us to NFPA 1582 medical examinations over 11 years ago. Our sister organization, ARC Health & Wellness (based only in Nevada) was awarded a contract with the City of Reno to conduct these specialized Medical Examinations on their Firefighters. Chief Lopes insisted that our Physicians understand what Firefighters go through, including 24 hour ride-a-longs, that we suit up in Turnouts/SCBA and conduct Fire Suppression Duties in Fire Chambers. But most importantly, Chief Lopes help mold our organization to be focused on NFPA 1582 in determining Fitness for Duty and helping to prolong the career of their Industrial Athletes. Tammy Lopes is still actively part of the NFPA 1582 Committee, she continues to help write new NFPA 1582 and her name is listed in 2018 Edition of NFPA 1582... 1582 is developing the First Smart Health History Form to coach Medical Providers what NFPA 1582 states about Medical..
