                  NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS)
                         INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM (ICS)
                          POSITION TASK BOOKS (PTBs)
                                       
Position Task Books (PTBs) are designed to be used by any individual (trainee) interested in becoming certified under the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The PTBs are intended to be used to document experiences that indicate successful completion of tasks specific to an Incident Command System (ICS) position. The performance requirements for each position are associated with core ICS competencies, behaviors, and tasks as suggested to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by a multi-disciplined, highly-experienced expert panel. 

Trainees are evaluated during this process by qualified evaluators, and the trainee's performance is documented in the PTB for each task by the evaluator's initials and date of completion. An Evaluation Record will be completed by all evaluators documenting the trainee's progress after each evaluation opportunity. 

Successful performance of all tasks, as observed and recorded by an evaluator, will result in a recommendation to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) of the trainee, that the trainee be certified in that position. Evaluation and confirmation of the trainee's performance while completing all tasks will normally require more than one training assignment and several different evaluators. Incidents lasting several days may involve multiple evaluators. Tasks may be evaluated on incidents, in a classroom simulation, in training and exercises, and in other work situations as long as there is a qualified evaluator.  

It is important performances be critically evaluated and accurately recorded by each evaluator. All tasks should be evaluated.  

The NIMS Qualification Process Guide lists the definitions for trainee, evaluator, training officer, and AHJ. 

Responsibilities:

1. Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ):
   * Selecting trainees based on the needs of their organization or to fulfill their obligations to contribute to Incident Management Teams (IMTs) or other Mutual Aid agreements.

2. Trainee:

   * Identifying desired objectives/goals whenever an opportunity for evaluation is recognized
   * Providing background information to an evaluator
   * Assuring the evaluation record is complete
   * Completing all tasks for an assigned position within the timeframe allowed for that position (all tasks with an approval older than the allowed timeframe should be reevaluated)
   * Notifying the local AHJ/training officer when the PTB is completed, and obtaining a signature recommending certification
   * Retaining the original PTB and providing a copy of the PTB to the appropriate individual/department to obtain a qualification from your agency

3. Evaluator(s):
   * Being qualified and proficient in the evaluated position
   * Meeting with the trainee and determining past experience, current qualifications and desired objectives/goals
   * Reviewing tasks with the trainee
   * Explaining to the trainee the evaluation procedures that will be utilized and which tasks may be performed during the evaluation period
   * Accurately evaluating and recording demonstrated performance of tasks
   * Dating and initialing completion of the task to indicate satisfactory performance
   * Documenting unsatisfactory performance

   * Ensuring all tasks have been completed within the three years prior to submission for final approval
   * Reevaluating any task with an approval older than three years and bringing up to date
      
5. Training Officer:
   * Providing the correct version of the PTB to the individual in order to document performance
   * Explaining to the trainee the purpose and processes of the PTB as well as the trainee's responsibilities
   * Tracking progress of the trainee
   * Identifying incidents or situations where the trainee may have evaluation opportunities
   * Identifying and assigning an evaluator who can provide a positive experience for the trainee, when the evaluation opportunity is within the AHJ's jurisdiction
   * Receiving and filing documentation from the assignment

6. AHJ Designee
   * Issuing the PTB to document task performance
   * Explaining to the trainee the purpose and processes of the PTB, as well as the trainee's responsibilities
   * Tracking progress of the trainee
   * Identifying incident evaluation opportunities

   * Documenting the assignment
   * Conducting progress reviews
   * Conducting a closeout interview with the trainee and evaluator and assuring documentation is proper and complete

Competencies, Behaviors and Tasks:

Each PTB lists the performance requirements (tasks) for specific positions set by the ICS competencies and behaviors (September 2007) recognized by FEMA's National Integration Center and posted to the NIMS Resource Center Web site, http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/.

There are numerous bullet statements listed under each task. The bullet statements are listed as guidelines/examples for the evaluator to follow to ensure that the intent of the task has been completed. Not all bullet statements for a task are required to be completed if the overall intent of the task has been satisfied.

Each task has a code associated with the type of training assignment where the task may be completed. These include: O = other, I = incident/event and R = rare event. Definitions for these codes may be found below*. While tasks can be performed in any situation, they should be evaluated on the specific type of incident/event for which they are coded. Tasks coded "I" should be evaluated on an incident/event, and so on. Performance of any task other than the designated assignment is not valid for qualification.

*Code:	
    O 	= Task can be completed in a variety of situations, such as in a classroom, exercise or simulation, incident or event, or daily job.
    I	=	Task should be performed on an incident or event which is managed under the ICS. 
    R	=	Rare events seldom occur and opportunities to evaluate trainee performance in real settings are limited. Examples of rare events include accidents, injuries, vehicle and aircraft crashes. Through interviews, the evaluator may be able to determine if the trainee could perform the task in a real situation.

               INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE EVALUATION RECORD

There are four separate blocks allowing evaluations to be made. These evaluations may be made on incidents, simulations in classroom, or in daily duties, depending on what the PTB indicates.  This should be sufficient for qualification in the position if the individual is adequately prepared. If additional blocks are needed, a page can be copied from a blank task book and attached.

Evaluator's Name, Incident/Office Title and Agency:  List the name of the evaluator, his/her incident position or office title, and agency.
Evaluator's Home Unit Address and Phone:  Self-explanatory
Incident Number:  The number next to the evaluator's name in the upper left corner of the evaluation record identifies a particular incident or group of incidents. This number should be placed in the column labeled "Evaluation Record #" on the PTB for each task performed satisfactorily. This number enables reviewers of the completed PTB to ascertain the qualifications of the different evaluators prior to making the appropriate sign-off on the PTB.
Location of Incident/Simulation:  Identify the location where the tasks were performed by agency and office.
Incident Kind:  Enter kind of incident (e.g., hazmat, wildland fire, structural fire, search and rescue, flood, tornado, etc.).

COMPLETE THESE ITEMS AT THE END OF THE EVALUATION PERIOD:
Number and Type of Resources:  Enter the number and type of resources assigned to the incident pertinent to the trainee's position.
Duration:  Enter inclusive dates during which the trainee was evaluated. This block may indicate a span of time covering several small and similar incidents if the trainee has been evaluated on that basis (e.g. several initial attack wildfires in similar fuel types).
Recommendation:  Check as appropriate and/or make comments regarding the future needs for development of this trainee.
Date:  List the date the record is being completed.
Evaluator's Initials:  Initial here to authenticate recommendations and to allow for comparison with initials in the PTB.
