A look at modern-day best practices for incident management. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has identified the top contributing factors in fireground line-of-duty deaths (LODDs) , yet incident commanders (ICs) and company officers (COs) continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over. Maybe its complacency or a lack of experience or understanding; either way, the consequences of flawed performance often result in tragedy. This webcast breaks down the critical functions of the IC and CO relationship into digestible pieces, using case studies and lessons learned. Students learn time-tested best practices that dramatically enhance safety and proficiency on the fireground. The focus is on the IC and CO relationship as it relates to command, control, risk assessment, on-scene communications, and accountability. Whether you are a seasoned boss, a new or inspiring officer, or just looking to enhance your operations, this class provides you with the tools you need to be successful.
