How was the Metriks Push/Pull Digital Force Gauge used for Evaluating Job Demands of Fire and Paramedic Students?

Recently, the Metriks Push/Pull digital force gauge was put to the test at Humber College to measure the job demands of Fire and Paramedic students. This initiative aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the physical requirements essential for their demanding roles.

 

Understanding Job Demands

Firefighters and paramedics face a wide array of physical challenges in their daily duties. From lifting heavy equipment and patients to performing high-stress rescue operations, the physical demands are intense and varied. Evaluating these demands is crucial for training programs to ensure that students are adequately prepared for real-world scenarios.

The Role of the Metriks Push/Pull Digital Force Gauge

The Metriks Push/Pull digital force gauge is a precision instrument designed to measure force during push and pull tasks. This device provides accurate readings that are essential for assessing the physical capabilities required in various job functions. At Humber College, this tool was employed to quantify the force exerted by students during simulated job tasks.
