Determine Operational Goals

• After we gather information and estimate
  potential course and harm (hazard/risk
  assessment) we then determine our operational
  goals.
• Risk/Benefit decision making

• Activity 3.1
• Identifying Goals

11

• Module 3 Unit 2
• Command and Safety

12
Objectives

• Identify the need for the use of an Incident
  Management System
• Identify the responsibility to establish and
  enforce control procedures
• Identify proper personal protective equipment
• Identify the roles of the Safety Officer and EMS
  responders

13
Managing the Scene

• The Incident Command System
• Required implementation (29 CFR 1910.120)
• Complexity requires effective and efficient
  management of resources
• Benefits to the use of the ICS
• Manages resources, Personal accountability
• Documentation, Effective communications

• Unity of command
• Span of control
• Functions of Command (five)
• Command, Operations
• Finance, Logistics
• Planning

• Shelter in place

20
Accomplishing Safety

• Use of PPE
• Minimum PPE is fire fighter protective clothing
  and PP/SCBA
• Decontamination issue of FFPC
• The Safety Officer
• Requirements
• Authority (Suspend, alter, terminate)

21
The Safety Officer

• Develops a Site Safety Plan
• Initial safety plan
• Site specific safe plan
• Pre-entry briefing
• Other Responsibilities
• Insures accountability, decontamination
• Proper PPE, assesses scene for all hazards

22
Role of EMS During Incidents

• Requirements
• Primary Roles
• Responder Monitoring

23
Summary

• The ICS
• The Safety Officer
• Roles of EMS

24

• Module 3 Unit 3
• Personal Protective Equipment

25
Objectives

• Describe the principles of hazards based response
• Identify protective measure considerations for
  life saving rescues
• Determine appropriate PPE
• Identify basic capabilities and limitations of
  various types of PPE

26
Hazard Based Response

• The process of developing personal protective
  measures designed to specifically address the
  hazards that are present at the scene in order to
  achieve an acceptable level of risk

27
Hazard Based Response

• Acceptable risk
• Step 1 Identify hazards
• Step 2 Develop measures to reduce each hazard

28
Identify and Reduce Hazards

• Thermal
• Etiological
• Asphyxiation
• Mechanical
• Chemical
• Psychological
• Radiological

29
Personal Protection
