We currently have Incident safety officers who must complete the ofpc IC safety course and we also have a Health & safety officer who has also completed the ofpc H&S officer course. The ICSO's have the responsibility of overall safety at all incidents whereas our H&S officer has been charged with chairing the committe to bring the department into compliance with NFPA 1500. At this point in time we have reviewed all of our guidelines, policies and bylaws and matched them to the NFPA 1500, the areas where we are not yet in compliance will be addressed.
