Fireground Safety Officer
Next course scheduled for September 2011
Location: FDTN Training Academy - Indianapolis,
Indiana
Download the complete course brochure.
The Fire Department Training Network's Fireground Safety Officer course is a 5-day, hands-on, training course designed to prepare fireground Safety Officers to manage the safety aspects of the fireground. We're all responsible for safety on the fireground but the Safety Officer is ultimately the one that must make the tough decisions.
There's plenty of courses out there that tell you what a Safety Officer is supposed to do but there are very few that actually show you. There's even fewer that make you perform the role of Safety Officer during actual fireground operations.
This course will review and highlight the key components that impact the Safety Officer's abiltiy to successfully manage safety on the fireground. The review includes both classroom and hands-on training. That's right, live-fire fireground scenarios designed to put each student in the actual position of Fireground Safety Officer—learning by doing!
Modules include:
- The Fireground View
- Building Construction & Fire
- Size-Up & the Safety Officer
- Safety & the Engine Company
- Safety & the Truck Company
- The Safety Officer, the Mayday, & Rapid Intervention Team Operations
- The Safety Officer & the Fireground – Scenario-based live fires
