ALABAMA FIRE COLLEGE Fire Department Safety Officer: Health and Safety Officer Projects Instructions Revised 07/2/7 Thank you for being a part of making the fire service better through training and education. The projects are a testing item. The projects that you will be completing are individual projects. You must turn in your own work that you have created. You are not to turn in projects that others have completed. You are free to discuss your work with your fellow students just like you would with your health and safety committee. But, the work you submit has to be your own. All of the projects are required by NFPA. We get complaints about there being too many projects. They are all necessary to meet the NFPA Standard and allow us to issue certification based on our current accreditation through IFSAC and Pro Board. So eliminating projects is not a realistic option. As you complete the projects, the internet is an excellent source to get material that you can then alter to fit your needs. But, do not just copy and paste content to complete a project. If you do use content from an online source, you are required to list the source and why it meets your needs for that project. Credit will not be given if content is copied from another source and that source is not listed. All projects are to be completed by the end of the last scheduled class. Our procedure is to grade the projects after the course has completed. If a project is submitted and needs to be reopened for a legitimate reason, have your Instructor to contact the Program Manager and the Certification Unit (Certification@alabamafirecollege.org). Once the course has ended, access to the projects is closed. All projects are to be submitted in Microsoft Office or Adobe PDF. If another format has to be used, please have your Instructor to contact the Program Manager and the Certification Division.
