Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
When an incident occurs, confusion over who is in charge, who does what and how information flows can waste precious time. Incident command systems provide a proven, scalable structure for managing incidents of any size, with clear roles, a manageable span of control, common terminology and a disciplined planning cycle.
This Incident Command System for Organisations training course explains how to adapt incident command principles, widely used by emergency services, to the needs of businesses, public bodies and industrial sites. Participants learn the core functions of command, operations, planning, logistics and finance, how to establish and expand an incident structure, how to run incident action planning and how to coordinate with external responders.
Practical exercises allow participants to practise setting up and running an incident command structure under realistic conditions.
