Abstract
A project consisting of two studies was conducted in 2019 to discover if firefighters had not reported an on-the-job injury to appropriate parties and, if so, why did they not report it. The project’s goals included: improve safety culture1, in regards to the values, norms, assumptions and expectations regarding safety, in the South Carolina fire service ; understand why firefighters do not report injuries accurately in NFIRS ; gain additional insight to better understand firefighter injuries in the South Carolina fire service.
