What is typically documented by a rehabilitation manager during an evaluation?

The rehabilitation manager is primarily responsible for overseeing the health and wellness of personnel during emergency response operations. One of the critical aspects of their role is to document medical evaluations. This involves assessing the physical condition of firefighters and ensuring that they are fit to continue working after exhausting situations.

Medical evaluations include checking vital signs, monitoring hydration levels, and identifying any signs of heat stress or fatigue. These evaluations help safeguard the well-being of first responders and ensure that they receive the necessary care if they exhibit any health issues during operations. By documenting these evaluations, the rehabilitation manager can maintain a record of each individual’s health status, which is essential for coordinating care and ensuring that team members are physically capable of performing their duties safely.
