Do you work in fire & rescue in Scotland?
If you work in the Fire and Rescue Service in Scotland (especially in Strathclyde Fire and Rescue) this table is an easy to read chart of who you are expected to provide fire and rescue safety information to during the course of your employment.
Note: This chart doesn’t include other fire and rescue services (firefighting, rescue, emergency medical provision, etc.) for which you have been trained and may be expected to provide, but may not be exempt.
| Section of society | You are: | |
|---|---|---|
| a non-christian | a christian1 | |
| Gender groups | ||
| males | yes | yes2 |
| females | yes | yes2 |
| Age groups | ||
| children | yes | yes2 |
| teenagers | yes | yes2 |
| adults | yes | yes2 |
| the elderly | yes | yes2 |
| Ability groups | ||
| able-bodied | yes | yes2 |
| disabled | yes | yes2 |

| ethnic minorities | yes | yes2 |
| Sexual preference groups | ||
| not sexually active | yes | yes2 |

| bisexual | yes | no3 |
Notes
1. Exemption may apply to those of other religious traditions or belief systems. See your local diversity team or watch leader for clarification.
2. Unless this contradicts your personal religious principles, in which case you are exempt from giving a shit if this section of the population dies due to inadequate safety knowledge because you’re a fucking bigot, but nobody can do anything about it because you’re safe in the knowledge that a precedent has been set and you won’t have to do your job.
3. An employment tribunal case has already been settled excusing you from working if you hate these people (or, if you prefer to say you don’t actually hate them as people but only what they get up to in the privacy of their own homes which you might have to enter one day in an emergency) and won’t be expected to do your job.
