Fire Officer advises qualified security service applicants
Meanwhile, a Ghana National Fire Service officer has urged aspiring security service personnel to exercise caution ahead of the upcoming medical screening.
Speaking in a TikTok video addressed to applicants, Fire Officer Ekow Kakra emphasised the importance of adhering to proper medical protocols, particularly for those taking medications, including painkillers.
He advised candidates to carry a valid doctor’s prescription for any strong treatment or remedies they are using, warning that traces of unprescribed substances in the bloodstream could lead to immediate disqualification.
“If you know you are taking any strong painkiller, ensure you attend the screening with a doctor’s prescription. Any unprescribed [meds] detected will lead to disqualification. Don’t waste your money if you cannot meet these requirements,” he shared.
Fire Officer Kakra said it was wise to prevent unnecessary disqualifications and ensure that all applicants meet the health standards required for service in the security agencies under the Ministry of Interior.
