The Safety Officer's responsibilities fall into two clear-cut categories: those associated with responding at the incident scene, and those associated with managing the occupational safety and health program of the department. This Incident Safety Officer course focuses on the former. It is an incident-specific, scene-oriented course designed to teach what a Safety Officer at an incident needs to know, using instructor-led discussions, multimedia activities, and group dynamics to convey instructional points.
