The nature of their work places intervention and rescue personnel at the top of professions that face a considerable number of occupational health and safety risks, which are sometimes unavoidable. Often, this occupational category does not face a single safety risk, but a complex combination of risk factors, including unpredictability of situations in which they are required to work. The growing issue of protecting emergency workers against occupational health and safety risks has been highlighted as a priority by many experts. Demands on intervention and rescue personnel, as well as occupational health and safety risks will increase as they face larger events both in number and magnitude and severity. Prevention of work accidents and occupational diseases is mainly based on knowledge and assessment of occupational risks associated with each workplace. Emergence of stress and other psychosocial risks in work processes requires the implementation of an anticipatory attitude and a constant level of vigilance to identify and evaluate them. Taking into account this reality, occupational risk prevention bodies are organized to anticipate and thus reduce time lag between highlighting a new risk and practical implementation of an appropriate prevention measure. Intervention and rescue personnel are subject to a combination of many different risks with many possible consequences on their safety and health.
