FALSE: Everyone needs fiber in his or her diet. Soluble fiber helps lower cholesterol,
regulates appetite. Insoluble fiber increases regularity and lowers the risk of colon cancer.
Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are great ways to get plenty of fiber in your diet.
g. Having high stores of carbohydrates improve performance.
TRUE: Having high stores of carbohydrate gives your muscles and brain plenty of fuel to
perform.
h. All carbohydrates are broken down the same.
FALSE: Carbohydrates fall into two categories: simple and complex. Simple
carbohydrates are rapidly digested and absorbed. There are good simple carbohydrates, which
include fruit, and milk-, which provide vitamins and minerals. But most of the simple
carbohydrates consumed come in the form of soft drinks, cakes, cookies and candy-, which
provide little more than calories. Complex carbohydrates (starchy foods) take longer for the
body to break down- providing long-term energy. They include bread, rice, cereal, starchy
vegetables, potatoes, dried peas and beans.
Fats
1. While excess fat is not good for you, fat is still essential in our diets. Fat serves several
functions by providing essential fatty acids, serving as an unlimited energy source, providing for
uptake of fat-soluble vitamins, insulating the body, protecting internal organs, adding flavor to
foods and by making you feel full and satisfied after a meal. However, fat in the diet, and more
specifically saturated fats, have been linked to a rise in blood cholesterol levels which is a risk
factor for arteriosclerosis.
2. Fats are classified into different groups: monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated and
trans fat. The important difference between each type of fat is how it affects blood cholesterol
levels. All fats are made up mixtures of these, but usually one type predominates.
a. Monounsaturated fats decrease LDL cholesterol without decreasing HDL cholesterol. This
may lower the risk for coronary heart disease. But remember to still eat in moderation because
these fats are high in fat and calories.
b. Polyunsaturated fats can lower LDL cholesterol, but it also lowers HDL (“good”)
cholesterol. The unsaturated fats generally have a vegetable origin and are liquid at room
temperature.
c. Saturated fats increase LDL cholesterol and decreases HDL cholesterol. This combination
is not heart friendly. This is a bigger problem than dietary cholesterol. The easiest way to
identify saturated fats is that they are of animal origin and are solid at room temperature.
d. Trans Fats are formed when liquid oils are made more solid but not totally solid. This
process is called partial hydrogenation. When oils are partially hydrogenated trans fats are
formed which act like saturated fats; they increase blood cholesterol levels and may make blood
platelets stickier.

3. Fat is a more efficient fuel than carbohydrate. But in order to burn fat for fuel, you must have
enough oxygen. This means you can only do low-intensity activities burning fat. The more in
shape you are, the higher the intensity you can go with burning fat. You become more efficient.
By using fat for energy, you can conserve glycogen stores.
4. The following is a list of suggestions that can help reduce your intake of saturated fats and do
not require radical changes in your diet.
a. Select very lean meats and trim off the excess fat. Avoid eating large amounts of red meat.
Broil, bake or boil rather than fry foods. If you must fry, remember to use unsaturated fat, i.e.,
vegetable oil.
b. Try to increase the percentage of fish, poultry, mature beans and peas in your daily intake
of protein.
c. Use only moderate amounts of eggs and organ meats, i.e., liver, heart and kidney.
d. Reduce your intake of foods containing butter fat, i.e., butter, cream, ice cream, whole
milk and cheese (unless otherwise specified).
e. Substitute a soft-tub margarine for butter and stick margarine.
f. Avoid commercially fried foods.
g. Substitute skim or low fat milk for whole milk.
5. Remember, fat is essential to your diet. In fact, it is recommended that approximately 10% of
your caloric intake consist of fat. However, it is most important for you to be selective in the
type of fat you ingest.
6. Fat Fact or Fiction:
a. Butter is healthier than margarine.
FICTION: Butter has so much more saturated fat and cholesterol than margarine- that the
trans fat the margarine has still doesn’t make it worse than butter. Look for a margarine that
contains a liquid vegetable oil as its first fat ingredient (some margarine has water as its first
ingredient) instead of partially hydrogenated oil. (Butter has 33mg of cholesterol and 8g of
saturated fat per tablespoon and margarine has no cholesterol and 6g of saturated fat per
tablespoon. Margarine does have more trans fat than butter- 1-3g per tablespoon vs. .3grams per
tablespoon.).
b. “Choice” and “Prime” cuts of meat are the lowest in fat.
FICTION: Choice and prime cuts are the most tender but they have the highest fat
content.
c. Cutting back on saturated fat is a more important diet strategy than cutting back on dietary
cholesterol.
18
Enclosure (1)
Subj: AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM
FACT: Only 20% of cholesterol has a dietary influence; 80% is produced by the body.
Saturated fat promotes the liver to produce more cholesterol.
d. Chicken has less fat than beef.
FICTION: Not necessarily. A skinless thigh contains more than twice as much fat as an
equal serving of an eye of round roast.
e. Olive and canola oil are healthy- so you can eat unlimited amounts.
FICTION: Olive and canola oil are healthier oils, but gram for gram they contain just as
much fat as any other oil- and excess will cause weight gain. They also have some saturated fat
in them, so in excess, they can raise cholesterol levels.
Proteins
1. Protein is needed to fulfill numerous jobs in the body: building, maintaining, and repairing
muscles and other body tissues; forming antibodies to fight off infection and disease; and
producing enzymes and hormones that help regulate body processes. Protein can be found in
most of the foods we eat every day, like milk, eggs, cheese, meat, poultry, fish, cereals and
vegetables. Therefore, it is rare today to see an individual whose diet is insufficient in protein.
In fact, the opposite is true. Most American diets are too high in protein content.
2. In a well-balanced diet, protein should represent approximately 30% of your diet. Protein
doesn’t want to be used as an energy source. It is inefficient and would rather be used for tissue
growth and repair. If too few calories are consumed or glycogen stores are depleted, amino acids
can be converted to glucose to provide fuel for the muscles and brain.
3. High protein diets have been very popular, but the fact is that when you eat so much protein,
it takes longer to digest-, which makes you consume fewer calories. For performance, this means
that you might not eat enough calories in the form of carbohydrates to fuel your muscles and
brain properly.
4. Protein Fact or Fiction:
a. Protein builds muscle.
FICTION: Training and exercise build muscles. If excess calories are consumed from
protein, carbohydrates or fat, the excess is stored as fat, not muscle.
b. Eating protein will delay fatigue and prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue.
FICTION: Eating carbohydrates will delay fatigue and prevent the breakdown of muscle
tissue.
c. The body will use protein for fuel if your glycogen stores are low.
FACT: Your body will use protein, rather than fat, for fuel if your glycogen stores are too
low. This means that you will burn muscle mass for fuel – losing lean body mass.
d. The more protein you eat, the more water you need.
FACT: Protein puts stress on the kidneys – so you want more fluids.
19
Enclosure (1)
Subj: AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM
e. Eating protein after working out helps replenish glycogen stores more quickly.
FACT: Eating small amounts of protein along with carbohydrate rich foods helps
replenish glycogen faster and helps with muscle repair.
f. If you don’t eat enough calories, your body will conserve protein stores.
FICTION: If you don’t eat enough calories, your body will have to use your lean muscle
mass for energy.
Vitamins
1. The role of vitamins with respect to developing total fitness can be divided into two broad
categories: prevention of disease and regulation of body processes. The first category is self-
explanatory. The second involves the concept that vitamins are essential to facilitate the various
chemical reactions that occur in the body. This can include reactions that produce energy
chemical reactions that build muscle.
2. Vitamins are divided into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. Fat soluble vitamins
require the presence of fats in order to be absorbed by the body, while water soluble vitamins
require the presence of water. The fat soluble vitamins can be stored in the liver if present in
excessive amounts, and because of this the potential exists for toxic levels to be reached. The
water soluble vitamins, if present in excess, are eliminated in the urine. The only negative effect
is very expensive urine.
3. The best recommendation for determining your dietary requirements for vitamins is to follow
the National Nutritional Council Recommendations for maintaining a well- balanced diet that
includes foods from the four major food groups. It is felt that the necessary types and amounts
of vitamins can easily be obtained by this recommendation. Vitamin supplements are not
encouraged unless it is difficult for you to maintain a balanced diet, and if supplements are to be
taken look for those that provide the vitamins in moderate percentages, or as close to the 100%
daily Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) as possible.
Minerals
1. Minerals serve two main functions. The first is as actual constituents of the body (i.e.
calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus) which are extremely important to the development and
structure of bones and teeth. Minerals also play an important function in the role of certain body
systems. For example, the proper functioning of our nervous system and the production of
energy both depend on minerals. The recommended daily requirements (RDA) for minerals, like
vitamins, can be met with a well-balanced diet.
Water
1. Under normal conditions, you lose a minimum of eight cups of water a day through skin,
lungs, feces, and urine. You can easily lose more every hour during exercise. There is a built-in
control center in the brain that monitors the body’s water requirement. When this center sends
out a signal indicating a need for more water, the individual will become thirsty. The thirst
mechanism works quite well, except in extreme cases where water depletion can occur quite
20
Enclosure (1)
Subj: AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM
rapidly. In these cases, a conscious effort must be made to keep fluid intake up with the body's
demand. In addition, it is important to keep in mind the fact that by the time a person feels
thirsty, he or she has already become dehydrated and will be playing a game of catch-up to
correct the situation.
2. The recommend minimum intake of water is 1-1/2 quarts for an individual who is not
engaged in exercise or exposed to a warm environment. If the individual participates in physical
activity and/or the environmental temperature increases, so does the requirement for water.
Sweating reduces your blood volume even more so. This drop in blood volume will reduce your
ability to take in and use oxygen, which decreases endurance and the ability to handle heat.
These factors may cause the recommended minimum to increase by a gallon or more per day.
3. Sweat is more than just water. Sodium and potassium are two important electrolytes that help
your muscles contract and relax. When you are working hard for a long period of time, you need
to replenish your electrolytes or you will throw off your electrolyte concentration. This can
result in muscle cramping and impairment of temperature control. There are many ways to
replenish electrolytes. Plain, cool water is the fluid of choice when the actual exertion time does
not last longer than 60 to 90 minutes. However, it has been shown that consuming beverages
that contain carbohydrate during exercise lasting longer than 60-90 minutes provides muscles
with a ready supply of blood glucose for immediate energy.
4. Sports drinks also provide sodium, which replaces the needed electrolyte and helps speed the
rate at which fluid and carbohydrate empty the stomach. Another benefit is that the salt keeps
your mouth thirsty, and you tend to drink more than if you were just drinking water. You want
to look for a sports drink containing 6-8% carbohydrate concentration. You can figure this out
by dividing the number of grams of carbohydrate in an 8-ounce serving by 240 and multiply by
100. If the carbohydrate percentage is too high, your body has to dilute it (taking away body
water) in order for it to pass through the GI tract. Fruit juice and soft drinks are too high in
carbohydrate and too low in sodium.
5. Under normal conditions the body can adequately regulate body water. But as a firefighter,
water losses are increased acutely with PPE and high heat environment. The thirst response
becomes delayed and dehydration can set in without much warning. Research has shown that
working firefighters can lose more than 2.6 liters of body fluid per hour. Drinking about one
liter of fluid per hour helps prevent these health effects and makes it easier to continue
performing required tasks. Maintaining a high level of fitness and decreasing body fat also aid in
the efficiency of the body’s ability to cool itself.
6. Dehydration poses both short and long-term dangers to your health. In the short-term, your
body's cooling system can't work properly which may cause you to overheat, suffer heatstroke,
and possibly die. The skin and muscles compete for blood supply. If your skin gets the supply it
needs then you can cool yourself, but the muscles don’t get the oxygen they need, and vice-
versa. Mental performance is also affected: decision making skills, eye-hand coordination and
skills all suffer.
21
Enclosure (1)
Subj: AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM
7. There are plenty of warning signs that you are suffering heat stress. It is your job to recognize
these and take them seriously. They include: dizziness, headache, cramps, nausea, increased
heart rate, dark urine, premature fatigue, irritability, thirst and dry mouth.
8. Dehydration happens in cold weather similarly to hot weather. When you work in the cold,
the peripheral blood vessels constrict to maintain your core body temperature. This
vasoconstriction raises your blood pressure- including in your kidneys, which induces you to
urinate and lose fluid. You also lose fluid through respiration when you are warming the cold air
coming in. Follow these tips to help stay hydrated:
Don't wait until you are thirsty before drinking water
Drink plain water throughout the day
Avoid beverages containing caffeine
Drink more than enough to satisfy your thirst
Keep fluids with you for easy access
Drink more than you think you need before class or evaluations to make sure you are
fully hydrated
Suggestions for Nutritional Health
1. So far in this Department we have identified the importance of good nutrition to your total
fitness program. We have also discussed the basic components of good nutrition and their
function. The process of weight loss and weight control has also been included. The following
general guidelines may prove useful in helping to create a better diet.
a. Eat a variety of foods, preferably from the four basic food groups. Doing so assures you of
an adequate intake of all the nutrients you need. If you are unable to do this, consider
supplementing your diet with a multivitamin or mineral tablet.
b. Avoid foods with too much fat, particularly the saturated (animal) fat and cholesterol.
c. Eat foods with adequate starch and fiber, i.e., pasta, potatoes, beans, grains, etc.
d. Avoid too much sugar; instead of candy, try some fruit.
e. Avoid too much salt, which has been associated with health problems like hypertension.
Eat meals at regular times; remember moderation.
f. Avoid the common pattern of no breakfast, little or no lunch and a huge dinner. It is best
to have equal, smaller portion meals more frequently.
g. Eat slower and chew food more thoroughly to help prevent over eating.
h. Remember that successful weight control means a permanent change in your eating habits.
22
Enclosure (1)
Subj: AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM
i. Keep in mind realistic weight loss is one to two pounds a week.
j. Be sure to engage in some form of regular exercise.
2. Firefighter Food Recommendations
a. Before Activity. Eat a carbohydrate rich diet- will give greater glycogen stores to draw on
and will delay onset of fatigue.
b. After Activity.
(1) Consume about half a gram of carbohydrate per pound of body weight within 30
minutes following activity when body is most receptive to replacing glycogen.
(2) Add protein- boost the rate at which the body stores glycogen
(3) After initial recovery- get 50-100 g of carbohydrate every 2 hours until the next full
meal.
3. Firefighter Fluid Recommendations
a. When on Shift.
(1) For every pound lost drink two 8 oz. glasses of fluid.
(2) Drink 2 ½ cups of water before working outside.
(3) Drink 1 cup of fluid every 20 min while working.
b. At the Fire Scene.
(1) Begin drinking water on your way to the emergency.
(2) When lasting longer than an hour on the emergency scene- drink fluid replacement.

Department 4: Risk Management Plan
Purpose
1. The risk management plan shall apply to all ARFF personnel. It is intended to comply with
the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1500, Standard on
Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program. In conducting a risk assessment,
MCAF ARFF recognizes the need to identify risk through a specific procedure and evaluate each
risk by measuring their frequency, severity, and probability. All these factors shall be considered
together when establishing priorities and analyzed throughout the risk assessment process. The
ARFF Department shall employs a risk assessment plan as a component of a comprehensive
safety and health program with the following objectives:
a. To limit the exposure of the ARFF Department to situations and occurrences that could
have harmful or undesirable consequences to the department or its members.
b. To provide a safe working environment for the members of the ARFF Department while
recognizing the risks inherent to the fire department’s mission.
c. To require all personnel to use the concept of risk vs. benefit as a primary consideration
during ARFF operations.
d. The plan shall reduce or eliminate risk in the following categories:
(1) Personnel losses; Death, injury, illness, and exposures
(2) Property Loss; Damage to equipment, apparatus, facilities
e. The plan shall address the following areas of risk:
(1) Administration
(2) Facilities
(3) Training
(4) Vehicle operations, emergency and non-emergency
(5) Protective clothing and equipment
(6) Operations at emergency incidents
(7) Operations at non-emergency incidents

(8) Other related activities
Responsibilities
1. The ARFF OIC has the responsibility for the implementation and operation of the
Department’s risk assessment plan.
a The ARFF Department’s Safety and Health Officer shall be responsible for management
and revision of the risk assessment plan annually based on potential exposures.
b. All members have the responsibility for their health and safety through compliance with
the requirements set forth in the Risk Management Plan.
Risk Management Plan Process:
1. Risk Identification: Identification of potential exposures for all operations, both
emergency and non-emergency. This shall include, but not be limited to the following
information:
a. Listing of risks to which members are or may be exposed.
b. Records of previous accidents, illnesses, injuries, and exposures both locally and
nationally.
c. Information on potential exposures specific to known hazards in the community.
d. Facility, apparatus, and equipment inspections.
2. Risk Evaluation: Evaluate the list of exposures using the following criteria:
a. Frequency of occurrence.
b. Severity and impact of occurrence.
3. Prioritization: The ARFF Department will prioritize risks based on a risk evaluation.
Risks with low or high frequencies and high severity shall be considered high priority and
require immediate action. Special attention should be given to low frequency, high severity
risks. Training, hazard identification, and sound decision making are critical for successful
mitigation of low frequency, high severity risks.
4. Risk Control Measures:
a. Avoiding Risk: Avoiding the activity creating risk. This is the ideal method of risk
management, and, though sometimes not possible in the emergency services, can be employed in
certain cases.
25
Enclosure (1)
Subj: AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM
b. Controlling Risk: Using control measures to reduce the likelihood of occurrence and
severity. Such control measures include; administrative controls (SOPs, etc.), engineering
controls (apparatus safety features, etc.), and personal protective equipment (SCBA, etc.).
c. Transferring Risk: Transferring the risk to someone else. The most common method of
transferring risk is through the chain of command. Transferring risk in emergency operations is
not always practical, but can be done in certain situations.
5. Monitoring the Risk Management Program: The ARFF Department’s Safety and
Health Officer shall periodically evaluate (at least annually) the Risk Management Plan for
effectiveness. Methods of managing new risks shall be developed and implemented.
6. Risk Management at Emergency Operations: The concept of risk management
shall be used on the basis of the following principles:
a. Activities that present a significant risk to the safety of members shall be limited to
situations where there is a potential to save endangered lives.
b. Activities that are employed routinely to protect property shall be recognized as inherent
risks to the safety of members. Actions shall be taken to reduce or avoid these risks.
c. No risk to the safety of members shall be acceptable when there is no possibility to save
lives or property.
d. Where the risk to the safety of members is excessive, activities shall be limited to
defensive operations.
e. At significant incidents or special operations, the Incident Commander shall designate
qualified personnel with specific authority and responsibility to evaluate hazards and provide
direction with respect to the safety of operations.

Department 6: Critical Incident Stress
Definition
Marines responding to emergency events and/or disasters will see and experience events that will
strain their ability to function. These events, which include having to witness or experience
tragedy, death, serious injuries and threatening situations are called "Critical Incidents". The
physical and psychological well-being of those experiencing this stress, as well as their future
ability to function through a prolonged response, will depend upon how they manage this stress.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder differs from critical incident stress by lasting longer than four
weeks after the event triggering the emotional, mental or physical response. Most instances of
critical incident stress last between two days and four weeks.
Purpose
Critical incident stress is a normal reaction experienced by firefighters following a critical
incident. It is the inevitable result of trauma experienced by fire service personnel and is not to
be perceived as weakness, mental instability, or other abnormality. The Critical Incident Stress
Program (CISP) is intended to prevent or limit the development of post-traumatic stress in people
exposed to critical incidents. In CISP, professionally conducted debriefings attempt to help
people cope with and recover from an incident's aftereffects.
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
1. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is a proactive intervention involving a group
meeting or discussion about a particularly distressing critical incident. Based on core principles
of crisis intervention, the CISD is designed to mitigate the impact of a critical incident and to
assist the persons in recovery from the stress associated with the event. The CISD is facilitated
by a specially trained team which includes professional and peer support personnel. Ideally it is

e. AFO 5100.4 states the MCAF Safety Department is funded to support personal protective
equipment requirements, and many items required to be used during ARFF operations are
immediately available in the Safety Supply Issue Point. It is unacceptable to perform any task
without the required PPE so all ARFF Marines are encouraged to use the MCAF Safety Mobile
Web PPE Request feature when needed.
Hearing Conservation
1. Industrial Hygiene Noise Surveys of ARFF operating areas have established them to be noise
hazardous environments and as such, ARFF Marines have been enrolled in the Hearing
Conservation Program. The MCAF Safety Office manages the Command Hearing Conservation
Program, and in support of that program we will ensure the compliance of those requirements
established by that office,
a. ARFF personnel are subject to routine hearing tests per reference (b). Upon assignment to
ARFF, personnel will be placed on the Medical Surveillance Program for annual audiometric
testing. Annual audiometric testing will be completed as part of your annual Fire Fighter
Physical or during your Physical Health Assessment. It is important that at the conclusion of
your audiogram results are provided to the MCAF Corpsman to ensure the results are entered
into the Navy Medical Readiness Reporting System (MRRS).
b. All personnel assigned to the Hearing Conservation Program are also required to conduct
initial training then annually thereafter. During the check-in process the MCAF Safety Office
will enter information into the Safety Information Management System (SIMS) that will track
both audiogram and testing requirements.
c. All personnel shall be issued hearing protection for use when exposed to hazardous noise
levels at or above 85 decibels. All personnel are required to wear double hearing protection
when exposed to hazardous noise levels at or above 96 decibels. Each piece of noise producing
equipment has been labeled with the decibel level and PPE requirement. All hands are required
to adhere to those requirements especially with those items producing noise higher that 96
decibels. Individuals must be aware that not wearing adequate hearing protection can result in
permanent hearing loss that is irreversible,
Medical Surveillance Program.
Periodic physical examinations of personnel employed in hazardous occupations/areas are
mandatory requirements established in the reference. These requirements equate to annual
examination/health monitoring for hearing conservation, respiratory protection, potential
exposure to hazardous materials, operation of emergency vehicles and firefighter physical.
Accordingly, all personnel assigned to ARFF shall undergo a physical examination per the
following procedures:
a. Firefighter physicals will be conducted at the Marine Corps Base Quantico Naval Health
Clinic. Physical Health Assessments will be conducted at HMX-1 Medical and tracked by the
MCAF Medical Officer and Corpsman to ensure completion.
36
Enclosure (1)
Subj: AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM
b. Upon assignment of a person to the ARFF Department, the Training Chief shall contact
Occupational Health to schedule the initial examination. The procedures for making annual
appointments remain the same.
(1) The type of examination being requested is an annual Firefighter’s Physical including
Medical Examiner’s certification to operate emergency vehicles.
(2) Upon establishment of an examination appointment, the ARFF HSO will complete the
applicable portions of the Physical Examination. The partially completed NAVMC 10969 and
NAVMC 10970, along with medical health record, shall be hand carried by the individual when
reporting for examination.
c. Whenever the ARFF Department responds to an actual aircraft fire or a hazardous
substance spill, special one-time examinations will be arranged by the ARFF HSO.
d. Special one-time examinations shall be arranged in the event of an aircraft mishap wherein
ARFF personnel were possibly subjected to the Hazardous Materials such as Composite Fibers,
Fluoroelastomer (Viton), and Lithium, Hydrazine or other known hazards.
