Who Should Take This Training?

Incident Command System training is appropriate for any organization or team that requires personnel to respond to an emergency event on site:

  • First response agencies such as fire, police and ambulance
  • Federal, provincial and local government agencies
  • Organizations commonly involved in community response at a site level, such as transportation and utilities
  • Any private or public organization requiring employees to respond to incidents at their location, and liaise with first responder personnel. For example, security personnel at a hospital responding to a fire in the building or a university emergency team responding to a flood in their building.

Incident Command System training is also invaluable for site-support personnel (Emergency Operations Centre or Department Operations Centre), to enable them to effectively understand and liaise with responders on site.
