Incipient Industrial Fire Brigade Member (INCIP)
Advanced Exterior Industrial Fire Brigade Member (EXT)
Interior Structural Industrial Fire Brigade Member (INT)

Industrial Fire Brigade: Principles and Practice provides essential guidance for compliance with OSHA Regulations 29 CFR § 1910.156, as well as NFPA 600, Standard on Industrial Fire Brigades, 2005 Edition.
