The SpillConsult Incident Management course - Vancouver, Canada
COURSE OVERVIEW
The SpillConsult Incident Management course is an ICS 300 & 320 compliant programme that provides a comprehensive overview of the concepts, principles and operational protocols of the Incident Command System. The course is scenario based and guides delegates through the full lifecycle of an incident — from initial response and stabilization, through transition to an expanded Incident Management Team — and will give participants a detailed and practical understanding of the key roles and responsibilities within an ICS structure.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Any person who may be required to fill a role as part of an Incident Management Team, including response personnel, supervisors, planners and coordinators seeking a clearer operational perspective.
WHAT WILL BE COVERED
All stages of the response process, from initial assessment and first response through to proactive planning and the production of a formal Incident Action Plan (IAP). By utilising the virtual environment of Komoko, realistic scenarios will illustrate the practical challenges faced by the various functions and components of a scaling ICS structure and will reinforce decision-making under pressure.
