NVFC Launches Incident Safety Officer Training through Virtual Classroom
May 12, 2014
The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) is now offering its Incident Safety Officer (ISO) course through the NVFC Virtual Classroom. Take the course for free for a limited time.
The ISO training gives students an overview of the role of an ISO and covers communications and safety, as well as the practical application of this information. The course was made possible through a grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation. Please note, this is not an Incident Safety Officer certification program.
The course is offered in a series of four modules:
- Module 1: Overview – Provides an overview of the roles, responsibilities, qualifications and standards applicable to the Incident Safety Officer.
- Module 2: Communication – Covers pre-incident, incident, and allied communications issues for the ISO.
- Module 3: Safety and Incident Response Management – Presents students with an overview of the key response considerations that Safety Officers must deal with in fulfilling their roles and responsibilities.
- Module 4: Application – Takes the lessons learned in Modules 1-3 and gives the student the opportunity to apply key concepts to practical scenarios. The goal is for the student to take away an experiential understanding of fulfilling the roles and responsibilities of an ISO.
