Incident Management System (IMS or ICS) Toolkit (FREE Download)

Free Download. The IMS Toolkit ... Print Ready and Digital versions, includes:

• IMS Roles and Responsibilities Manual.
• Planning 'P' Poster.
• IMS Forms as well as A1 sized IMS Form 215 and 215a.
• IMS Meeting Checklist and Planning 'P' Guides.
• Incident Hazard and Safety Reminder Posters.
• T-Cards.

Our entire approach to the actual design of the Toolkit is derived from, and replicates, the modular organisational system of IMS. PS: There is no difference between IMS or ICS other than changing the word 'Command' to "Management'. The reason for this is to bring this very effective system to a wider audience and industries outside of fire services.

Everything in the Toolkit is centred around.

• Ease of navigation.
• Clarity of communication.
• Usability.
• Accessibility and comprehension within a pressured environment.

Colour has been standardised to facilitate every possible scenario, particularly where language issues might arise. Standard Pantone colours were chosen, as these Pantone colours can be applied and adapted universally across all media, including print and screen based environments. 

The choice of these colours also allows for immediate recognition and clarity of the roles within IMS, with the intention that these colours become standardised globally for ease of role recognition, regardless of the language of the area. Hence, a responder to an incident, whether in their home country or in a foreign country may be able to immediately recognise the relevant leadership roles by the colour of the documentation and identifying bib or clothing.

The documents will work across all media and devices and are resolution independent, meaning they can be displayed or printed at any size without any loss of image quality. 

The T-Card System has been carefully streamlined and echoes the design style, layout and approach adapted for the entire Toolkit.

The T-card system colours chosen follow the standards already in use within IMS, as identified by the NFPA, and are created using tints of the existing Pantone colours we have chosen to use for the Toolkit, this simplifies the printing process and again ensures the ability for global standardisation.

Please use this Toolkit for improving your IMS training experience and incident management.
