NIMS ICS All-Hazards Position-Specific: Safety Officer (SOFR) Course (L954)
This Safety Officer (SOFR) course is designed to provide local-and State-level emergency responders with a robust understanding of the duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of an effective SOFR on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT) or local Incident Management Team. These responsibilities fall into two categories: 1) responding to the incident and the safety needs of the incident, and 2) effectively fulfilling the position responsibilities of a Safety Officer on an AHIMT. Exercises, simulations, discussions, and a final exam enable participants to process and apply their new knowledge.
