Safety Action Manual
When something unexpected happens, clear guidance makes all the difference.
The Safety Action Manual provides IUCC with simple, dependable instructions for real-world emergencies, with clear steps, shared roles, and easy-to-follow actions. These resources are here so anyone at IUCC—staff, volunteers, or visitors—can help protect others and respond with clarity and confidence when it matters.
