Emergency Incident Risk Management shows fire chiefs, fireofficers, safety officers, and risk managers for the first timeanywhere how to develop and implement a comprehensive riskmanagement program that can sharply reduce on-the-job fatalities,injuries, and harmful exposures while minimizing property andequipment damage. Expanding on the information presented in theNational Fire Protection Association 1500 Handbook, this thoroughguide covers every phase of effective risk management fromassigning roles and preplanning, through all the steps in a solidrisk management plan, to handling actual emergency incidents. Withthe help of illuminating examples, Emergency Incident RiskManagement demonstrates how to:
* analyze accident, injury, and illness data
* identify and evaluate risk
* establish risk management priorities
* formulate and implement sound risk control measures
* monitor and fine-tune the risk management program

* use and maintain proper personal protective equipment
Further, the book addresses federal standards that safetyadministrators must observe, providing crucial complianceinformation on OSHA s regulations covering bloodborne pathogens,confined spaces, respiratory protection, and hazardous wasteoperations and emergency response in addition to the NFPAstandards.
