| Part of the Industrial Incident Management Series. Incident Command in the Field, the second part of Industrial Incident Management, describes how a Command Post operates in the field to provide overall management and direction to the emergency response effort. It explains how Command establishes strategic objectives, assigns key responsibilities, and evaluates the overall effectiveness of the response effort. The program tells how and where to set up the Command Post and points out the need for reliable communication equipment and reference resources. The importance of leadership by the incident commander, particularly at the beginning of the incident, is stressed, and factors to consider in the IC's decision to select an offensive or defensive strategy are outlined. Other responsibilities of the IC are also covered, including on-going size-up of the situation, risk assessment, delegating authority, assigning units, and managing resources. Procedures for establishing additional levels of the response organization are outlined and the responsibilities of staff officers are explained, with particular emphasis placed on the role of the Safety Officer. Other topics covered include tactical priorities, resource management/staging areas, terminating the incident and evaluating the response. |
