Firefighter Training Drill: Safety Officer: Basic Duties

Training drill by Forest Reeder

In this new series of training drills provided by188金宝搏是正规吗, we will be providing a training module for the Safety Officer. The unique thing about this series that you will find is that even if you are not the designated safety officer for your fire department, almost the entire content of the drill will apply to officers and firefighters alike. Someone (meaning even you) will be responsible for performing these functions and to provide immediate intervention and/or corrective actions if fellow firefighters place themselves into a hazardous position. These drills will provide a brief discussion on the skill or knowledge level, provide some best practice tips and ask a series of questions that you will need to answer acting in the capacity of a safety officer or just someone who is trying to prevent harm to other firefighters.

The first drill covers the basic process and duties that the safety officer performs continually during an incident. This model can be used at almost every type of incident that a safety officer is assigned to.The IncidentSafety Officer(ISO) must be able to assess scenehazardsfor conditions and actions that are immediately or potentially dangerous to firefighters. A process ofdetermining these factorsmust be used at every incident that the ISO responds to. Using a basicrisk managementapproach, the ISO could determine these factors in a logical manner. This process, known by the acronym IEPCM–which stands for Identify, Evaluate, Prioritize, Control, and Monitor–allows the ISO to evaluate and prioritize incident scene hazards.
