Standard for Incident Management Personnel Professional Qualifications
Also Known As:
NFPA 1026-2018 is a comprehensive standard that defines the qualification requirements for personnel involved in incident management. The standard is designed to ensure that incident management teams are comprised of trained and prepared individuals who can effectively respond to and manage emergency incidents.
The standard emphasizes the importance of having personnel with the necessary qualifications to handle large-scale emergency incidents and events. It identifies the minimum Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) for personnel who play various roles within the Incident Management System (IMS), which is an all-hazard system for managing emergency incidents.
NFPA 1026 covers a wide range of positions within the incident management team, including incident commanders, safety officers, public information officers, liaison officers, operations section chiefs, staging area managers, and operations branch directors, among others.
This edition of NFPA 1026 includes updated extracts and definitions to ensure that users have access to the most current information and terminology in the field of incident management. It is essential for every member of an Incident Management Team (IMT), from initial local response to multi-jurisdiction situations, to be qualified in accordance with this standard.
