SAM 039 | Station Alerting Noise Can Impact Situational Awareness

I recorded the featured content of this episode a few weeks back so you’ll notice the difference in the sound quality because I was using my standard podcasting microphone.   This episode was inspired by a long conversation I had with some firefighters about challenges they are facing with their station alerting system so I decided to dedicate an episode to this potential situational awareness barrier.   During this episode I discuss: 1.    The impact loud noises can have on stress levels. 2.    How noise triggers primal defenses. 3.    The long-term impact of noise exposure. 4.    The need to upgrade station alerting systems.       Thank you to our sponsor: Midwest Fire: MidwestFire.com Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records   Situational Awareness Matters! website www.SAMatters.com
