The report concluded that unless the 'toxic culture' is tackled firefighters will take their lives.
The review team requested disciplinary information from the brigade and were informed that there have been 10 cases of staff being disciplined for sexual harassment over the last five years and none had resulted in dismissal.
The review team heard a black firefighter had been subject to racist bullying on his watch, including someone putting a mock noose over his locker. The report claimed colleagues asked how his Al Qaida training had gone when he returned from the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. It is also alleged he began to suffer from depression and anxiety – collapsed at work and was admitted to hospital.
It said: “That complaints are frequently blocked by managers and not allowed to go anywhere because they don’t deem such abuse to be racist means there is little protection or justice mechanisms for those on the receiving end of abuse.”
