Through this certification process you will be train on how to respond to emergencies and provide life- saving support.

The first stage of any classification is likely to define whether the incident qualifies as an emergency. And consequently if it warrants an emergency response. Some agencies may still respond to non-emergency calls, depending on their remit and availability of resource. An example of this would be a fire department responding to help retrieve a cat from. A tree, where no life, health or property is immediately at risk.

Following this, many agencies assign a sub-classification to the emergency.

Prioritising incidents that have the most potential for risk to life, health or property (in that order). For instance, many ambulance services use a system cal. The Advance Medical Priority Dispatch System (AMPDS) or a similar solution.

The AMPDS categorises all calls to the ambulance service using it as either ‘A’ category (immediately life-threatening). ‘B’ Category (immediately health threatening) or ‘C’ category (non-emergency call that still requires a response). Some services have a fourth category, where they believe that no response is require after clinical questions are ask.

Another system for prioritizing medical calls is know as Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD).

Jurisdictions that use EMD typically assign a code of “alpha” (low priority). Bravo” (medium priority), “charlie” (requiring advanced life support). Delta (high priority, requiring advance life support) or. Echo” (maximum possible priority, e.g., witnessed cardiac arrests) to each inbound request for service. These codes are then used to determine the appropriate level of response.

Other systems (especially as regards major incidents) use objective measures to direct resource. Two such systems are SAD CHALET and ETHANE. Which are both mnemonics to help emergency services staff classify incidents, and direct resource.

Each of these acronyms helps ascertain the number of casualties (usually including the number of dead and number of non-injured people involved). How the incident has occurred, and what emergency services are require
