Ensuring personal safety and the safety of colleagues and patients is not just a responsibility – it’s a critical component of effective EMS operations. This focus on safety not only enables responders to provide the best possible care, but also ensures they return home safely after each shift.

To support this goal, we’ve developed the following safety pledge as a tool for EMS personnel. It encompasses critical areas such as PPE compliance, safe vehicle operation and effective communication. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure that paramedics and EMTs maintain the highest safety standards during their shifts.

By signing this pledge, you commit to prioritizing these safety considerations during your shift to protect yourself, your colleagues, and the communities you serve.
