Question 6 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

Why is a Health Screening Questionnaire important for wild land firefighters to take before training?

Answer
A
The screening test allows administrators to weed out people with problems such as vision or hearing.
B
The pack test measures ability to carry equipment and walk.
C
It is intended to alert administrators to individuals’ previous health conditions such as cardio problems.
D
Doing field activities is considered dangerous.

Explanation

A Health Screening Questionnaire helps identify health conditions that could affect a firefighter’s safety during training, such as previous cardiovascular problems. Choice C describes this purpose. The pack test in choice B measures physical ability; it is not the purpose of the health questionnaire.
