Study of road traffic injuries and deaths among the Federal Fire Service personnnel of the EMERCOM of Russia

Relevance. Road accidents are one of the main causes of death and injury among the EMERCOM of Russia personnel.

The objective is to analyze the circumstances of road traffic occupational injuries and deaths of the Federal Fire Service (FFS) personnel of the EMERCOM of Russia within 2010 to 2021.

Methods. The level of occupational injuries in road accidents from 2010 to 2021, depending on the type of transport, type of activity, day of the week and month of the year, was calculated for 10 thousand firefighters, the level of deaths in the line of duty - for 100 thousand firefighters. Arithmetic averages and their errors (M ± m) are presented.

Results and discussion. The level of accident-caused injuries of the Russian EMERCOM FFS personnel was (1.52 ± 0.20) cases per 10 thousand people. The dynamics shows a decrease by 3.4 times in the statistics of injuries over 12 years. The rate of accident-caused deaths among the Russian EMERCOM FFS personnel was (2.06 ± 0.28) cases per 100 thousand people. The dynamics of the last two years demonstrates an increase in the statistics of injuries.

The road accident injuries constitute 13.2% of the total number of industrial injuries among Russian firefighters. The rate of fatalities caused by road accidents is 25.8% of the total number of firefighters killed in the line of duty.

Conclusion. The analysis of the circumstances of accident-caused injuries among the EMERCOM FFS personnel contributes to improved prevention of occupational firefighter injuries and reduces the on-duty firefighter death rate.
