Operations Level responders are trained to respond in a defensive manner:
  • Respond to the emergency
  • Assess the nature of the incident
  • Notify other involved parties
  • Request additional assistance when needed
  • Implement initial defensive actions
This program, comprising five videos or DVDs plus a Leader's Guide, teaches the core competencies required for certification at the Operations Level and helps set up a program to apply the lessons learned to your jurisdiction or facility. Also valuable for annual refresher training!
