ESOH 155 Incident Command for Industrial Responders Training (AHTC)
This course will introduce participants to the ICS as addressed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Fire Academy. Recommendations from OSHA, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and EPA will be stressed. Students with industry background will gain the knowledge and experience of what assisting agencies can offer in a hazardous materials or "hazmat" incident. They will also learn how they fit into the ICS on larger scale events. Students with public agency background will gain knowledge and experience in working within the incident command structure. Students with emergency response background will gain knowledge and experience in commanding spill mitigations and clean-up. They will also learn how to better work with outside agencies. Strong emphasis will be given to actual case studies, scenarios, and table-top exercises.
