Health and safety and the Emergency services

Should emergency services be subject to the same restrictions as the general public ?
This question has been raised by Sir Paul Stephenson as a result of the 7/7 inquiry

Quote:
Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has spoken out in the wake of the 7/7 inquest, which heard that the response of the emergency services were hampered by restrictive health and safety regulations
whilst personal safety of the emergency services is important it has to be realised that inherant danger is part of the job .The question is does the personal safety of someone who has voluntarily signed up to a job with inherant risks outweigh the risk of entering a high risk enviroment to save lives ?.
In my opinion no it doesn't
