• Abstract:
  Thousands of responders and motorists are needlessly killed or injured each year as a result of inefficient incident scene management. Traffic incidents are causing millions of hours of congestion delay annually, which results in billions of dollars wasted. Given their authority to close travel lanes, local public agencies must recognize their part in this process. These best practices were developed to promote safe and efficient incident management in Ohio. This professional responders guide is intended to share best practices with emergency services including fire, law enforcement, Emergency Management Agencies (EMA), Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and other first response agencies.
