The Handbook for EMS Medical Directors (PDF, 2.5 MB: exit DHS) covers topics ranging from occupational health and safety to liability issues. The Handbook for EMS Medical Directors was developed by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) as part of a cooperative agreement with the DHS OHA and USFA.
