What is required for employees with over two years of service regarding relief driving?

Employees with over two years of service are required to rotate on a regular schedule for relief driving unless they choose to opt out. This policy is designed to ensure that experienced personnel maintain their driving skills and are familiar with the operational aspects of various fire apparatus, which enhances overall team effectiveness and safety. Regular rotation helps distribute the responsibilities among qualified individuals, allowing for a more even distribution of driving duties within the team. By providing an option to opt out, the policy also respects the individual preferences and circumstances of the employees, while still emphasizing the importance of maintaining a competent driving workforce for operational readiness.
