Overview
The ICS Awareness & OSC Workshop is a comprehensive course designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of Incident Command System (ICS) principles and concepts, as well as Operational Safety and Control (OSC) protocols. Through interactive sessions and practical exercises, attendees will learn how to effectively respond to emergencies, coordinate resources, and manage incidents using ICS frameworks. The course covers key topics such as incident organization, roles and responsibilities, communication strategies, and OSC best practices. Participants will engage in hands-on activities and simulations to enhance their skills, and the course culminates in a rigorous assessment to evaluate their proficiency in ICS and OSC principles, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle various emergency situations.
