X establish a preliminary field response plan based upon the initial situation report and the
projected course of action.
2.2.3 Stage 2 Field Action
A Stage 2 Field Action is a coordinated field response to an emergency situation by multiple
personnel. A Stage 2 Field Action occurs when an emergency situation cannot be successfully
resolved at the First Responder level. Stage 2 field actions consist of operations undertaken in the
field by multiple personnel that are designed and implemented in order to control or abate an
emergency situation. A coordinated Stage 2 field response operation will continue until the
situation has been successfully resolved.
Field Action: Operations
General guidelines for responding to incidents that involve specific hazardous materials classes or
accident scenarios are provided under Appendix 1 -100 to this procedure. The specific course of
action taken during a Stage 2 Field Response Action will be determined by the ongoing incident
evaluation. Rescue is the primary duty of any field response.
