ISO Functions (1 of 5)

General Functions of the Incident Safety Officer– Integrate the ISO with the incident management

system

– Create and use SOP-defined criteria for ISO response

– Ensure that the ISO is readily identifiable at the incident scene

– Obtain a situation status briefing from IC upon arrival

FIRE 110-PPT-1-1.5


General Functions of the ISO– Monitor incident action plan, conditions, activities and

operations to determine whether they fall within the department’s risk management criteria

– Take action when the perceived risk is not within fire department risk management criteria

– Monitor incident scene and report to the IC the status of conditions, hazards, and risks

– Ensure use of a personnel accountability system

3

FIRE 110-PPT-1-1.6


General Functions of the ISO– Offer judgment to the IC on control zones and no-

entry zones

– Evaluate motor vehicle incident scene traffic hazards and apparatus placement

– Monitor incident radio transmissions and stay alert to transmission barriers

– Ensure that the IC establishes an incident scene rehabilitation tactical level management component

FIRE 110-PPT-1-1.7


General Functions of the ISO– Communicate to the IC the need for assistant safety

officers and/or technical specialists based on incident need, size, complexity, or duration

– Survey and evaluate the hazards associated with landing zones and interface with helicopters

– Identify the need for critical incident stress interventions and notify the IC

– If required to enter a hot zone or environment that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH), pair up with a partner and check in with the entry control officer.
