CertAssist™: The Tool Fire Departments Need to Navigate Big Changes
Fire departments across the country are bracing for significant changes proposed by OSHA that could reshape how training and equipment compliance are tracked. Volunteer fire departments, which often operate with limited resources and organization, face the greatest challenges. In the wake of these proposed laws, having an efficient and affordable tracking system isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
Enter CertAssist™, the latest partnership from FirefighterApp, designed to simplify certification tracking and training management while keeping your department compliant.
Why CertAssist™ is a Must-Have
