Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of mortality among firefighters.

We sought to develop a valid method for determining the costs of a workplace prevention program for firefighters.

In 2012, we developed a draft framework using human resource accounting and in-depth interviews with experts in the firefighting and insurance industries.

The interviews produced a draft cost model with 6 components and 26 subcomponents.

In 2013, we randomly sampled 100 fire chiefs out of >7,400 affiliated with the International Association of Fire Chiefs.

We used the Content Validity Index (CVI) to identify the content valid components of the draft cost model.

This was accomplished by having fire chiefs rate the relevancy of cost components using a 4-point Likert scale (highly relevant to not relevant).

We received complete survey data from 65 fire chiefs (65% response rate).

We retained 5 components and 21 subcomponents based on CVI scores ≥0.70.

The five main components include, (1) investment costs, (2) orientation and training costs, (3) medical and pharmaceutical costs, (4) education and continuing education costs, and (5) maintenance costs.

Data from a diverse sample of fire chiefs has produced a content valid method for calculating the cost of a prevention program among firefighters.
