This is a reminder that in an effort to speed up the process of a recommendation to reduce speed limits around emergency vehicles, members are asked to submit a “Notice of Injury/Near miss” form for EVERY incident they attend on roads. In the advice column, we are advised to write “that the recommendation to the NSWFB and Govt in relation to 40km/h speed limits around emergency vehicles be implemented ASAP”. Your assistance is appreciated.
With the lifting of the ban on False Alarm Notifications (FANs), members are reminded that ONLY the new FANs books (labelled version E on the cover) are to be used. Old versions are not to be used, and the Dept has agreed to issue Version E to stations. If they do not, it will be viewed as a NSWFB self imposed ban on FANs!
In unity,

Last month the Union wrote to the Department seeking action to further enhance our members safety whilst working on roadways. The issue was raised by members in the Illawarra Sub Branch concerned with the excessive speed of motorists in and around roadside incidents. As a result of the Union’s actions, the Department is now seeking an amendment to legislation so as to impose speed restrictions in such circumstances. In the interim, members holding these concerns are encouraged to submit a Near Miss form through the normal channels. Yet again, the Union had to put speed under the Department to get them to act.

State Secretary
