Principal Owner Emergency Response Training Group Blountville, Tennessee, United States
Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity all of these exist on hazmat responses, and unfortunately, they distract and cause problems for technicians and incident commanders alike! During this presentation we will examine the relationship of VUCA to hazmat response and explore how each of these tend to severely affect our “Situational Awareness” on hazmat calls. We will learn the trigger points, and the watchouts that tend to affect our hazard assessment process as well as examine the tools and behaviors that help to compensate in a VUCA response.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn the VUCA acronym and relate its relevance to hazmat response and other emergencies encountered by emergency service organizations.
Participants will learn how to apply tools such as OODA, Situational Awareness, and decision-making skills for hazmat response. These tools can enhance and improve your decison making process.
Participants will be able to understand how Communications fail and Chaos enters the hazmat world, how to combat and overcome these two common actors on every response call.
