The examination includes cardiovascular assessment, pulmonary function testing, vision and hearing evaluation, and screening for conditions that could impair performance in emergency situations. Both career and volunteer firefighters benefit from regular medical surveillance.

DOL Cancels 2026 Civil Penalty Inflation Adjustment — OSHA Maximum Penalties Stay at 2025 Levels (91 FR 31358)
mediumFor the first time since annual adjustments began under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, the Department of Labor will make no inflation adjustment to its civil monetary penalties for 2026 — OSHA maximum penalties remain at 2025 levels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics did not publish October 2025 CPI-U data because of the appropriations lapse, and the statute permits no alternative calculation, so OMB memorandum M-26-11 directed agencies to continue applying 2025 penalty amounts. The Department plans a thorough review of its civil penalties in 2027.

mediumOSHA hosted the 13th annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction May 4–8, 2026, encouraging construction employers nationwide to pause work for fall-prevention training, hazard recognition exercises, safety demonstrations, and toolbox talks. The agency also signed a new alliance with Construction Safety Week reinforcing the "All in Together" campaign. Falls remain the leading cause of fatalities in construction; OSHA emphasizes job-specific risk controls for roofing, ladder use, and scaffolding.
