Hi, There are no CFOA guidelines for lung function. We assess each recruit individually but ideally we like them to get above 75% of predicted for FEV1, FVC and Ratio. If we have anyone in with a history of asthma we write to the GP for more information and complete an exercise Spirometry test. If you would like more information please email me off the list so I can explain in more depth. Ruth Hazell OHN South Wales Fire and Rescue Service Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

I have managed to obtain the standards for hearing for firefighters where different frequencies are added together and they are categorised as to whether their hearing is suitable for active duty. I so far have been unable to find anything for them in relation to lung function results. The OHP I am working with has been unable to locate anything either...does anyone know if there is anything out there???
