Firefighters and other emergency responders are subject to many hazardous situations. To safeguard and help protect personnel from injury and line of duty deaths an Incident Safety Officer (ISO) oversees the emergency operations at the scene. The ISO acts as a risk manager by continually monitoring scene conditions and responders actions. To be effective, the ISO must know the typical hazards associated with a wide range of emergencies operations and be able to advise and direct these activities.
