Incident Safety Officer

Service Description

The Incident Safety Officer is a two-day course that examines the safety officer’s role at emergency responses. A specific focus on operations within an incident command system as a safety officer is the main theme. Response to all-hazards types of situations will be emphasized. The ISO course is designed for fire and EMS responders who may be designated by the IC and an incident safety officer while working within ICS. These assignments may occur during firefighting, EMS, special-operations-type incidents, and training evolutions. The ISO course is an incident-specific, scenario-oriented course designed to teach students what an ISO needs to know at an incident. The course uses instructor-led discussion, multimedia activities, and small group discussions to convey instructional points.
