Board OKs $9,000 to expand OSHA physicals for fire personnel
Summary
Selectmen approved a $9,000 FY26 transfer to expand the department's occupational health program with Pequot Health and provide more comprehensive medical screening for firefighters, covering cost increases and program expansion.
The Board of Selectmen approved a $9,000 transfer requested by Fire Services Director Chris Haley to expand OSHA‑required physicals and build a more comprehensive occupational health program for department employees using the town's provider, Pequot Health.
Haley said the transfer will help "build out a comprehensive health analysis" and provide increased medical screening and oversight for firefighters. A board member asked whether physicals had been done previously; Haley said the department is "enhancing our level of attention" and expanding on prior practice. The motion passed by voice vote.
The board recorded no amendments; members thanked Haley for the update and accepted the transfer to cover both prior underestimates and program expansion.
