Health and Safety Disclaimer
Physical training carries real risk of injury. Read this before you use any drill, workout or recipe in the app.
Talk to your doctor first
Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, a recent injury, are pregnant, take medication, or have been inactive. Follow your agency's fitness-for-duty and medical clearance rules.
Stop and get help
Stop right away and get medical help if you have chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to your arm, neck, jaw or back, unusual shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting, a racing or irregular heartbeat, or signs of heat illness such as confusion, nausea, or hot, dry skin. Call 911 in an emergency.
Not a substitute for your training or protocols
Tactical, medical, rescue and use-of-force drills in the app are practice aids only. They do not replace instruction from qualified instructors, your agency's policies and protocols, your medical director, or the law where you work. Always follow those first. Train with proper supervision, safety officers and equipment where your agency requires it.
Drug flashcards and medication content
The EMS drug flashcards are a study aid. Doses shown are general adult references and may not match your protocols. Never use them to decide a dose for a patient: follow your local protocols, your medical director and the drug's labeling. Local doses or notes a department adds come from that department, not from us, and it is responsible for them.
Heat and gear
Working out in turnout gear, body armor, or heat adds strain. Build up gradually, drink water, and rest in shade or cool air. New or returning members should increase time in the heat a little at a time, as NIOSH and OSHA recommend.
Food and allergies
Recipes list allergens we can identify from the ingredients, but always read labels yourself, since brands differ. Nutrition numbers are estimates from USDA data and change with brands and portions. Cook meat, poultry, fish and eggs to USDA safe internal temperatures. If you have a medical condition or a special diet, ask a doctor or registered dietitian.
Your choice and responsibility
You choose what training to do and how hard to push. To the extent the law allows, you take on the risk of injury from doing so, and we are not liable for it. The content is general information, not medical advice, and does not create a doctor-patient relationship.
