What this lesson covers
In this lesson, you'll learn to: tell an emergency action plan from an emergency response plan, identify who runs the ICS and what the safety official can do, match each responder level to its training hours, and apply the refresher and briefing rules. Which plan you need depends on whether employees will fight the emergency. An action plan covers reporting, evacuation and accounting for everyone.
