Book Reviews of Risk Management in the Fire Service
Book Review: Clearly, Mr. Wilder is the authority in this field !
Summary: 5 Stars
Having spent nearly 28 years in the risk management business it is refreshing to find a book that deals with timely issues in a clear, concise manner. The exposures unique to fire fighters/medics are unique and Mr. Wilder has unique approaches to today's risks. This book is a must read for any fire department in the United States and City Managers, Fire Chiefs, firemen and women would be remiss if it wasn't mandatory reading. One thing for sure. . . as soon as we are finished posting this review an invitation will be extended to Mr. Wilder to come address our departments and key personnel. I would encourage anyone in the business, who has not read this masterful work, to pick it up. I am certain based upon years of defense related consulting work that this book will become a standard in the industry and will be guide lines for conduct observed by both the plaintfiff and defense bars across the country. An "Excellent" job Mr. Wilder. Thank you . Mike Vines System Risk Manager Provena Health Inc.
Summary of 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.Law Enforcement Books
