Although he accepted that this work takes time, Mr Le Cocq said: “While it remains outstanding, it creates further risk not only directly to firefighters and islanders, but also to the States Employment Board.”
He highlighted that recommendations from phase one of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry have not yet been introduced in Jersey.
He said, combined with investment in the emergency services control centre, these recommendations could “provide safe systems of work in which firefighters can operate within an assessed risk to save life in a safe and effective manner”.
The FRSA president also said the government needs to invest in updating firefighters’ personal protective equipment (PPE), to reduce their risk of exposure to carcinogens.
He added that firefighters should have access to health screening.
