A dedicated Incident Safety Officer is one of the most critical positions on today's fireground. When properly trained, integrated into the Incident Command System, and working in a collaborative relationship with the Incident Commander, the ISO becomes a force multiplier for both safety and operational success.

The Incident Safety Officer actively contributes to the development, implementation, and continuous evaluation of the Incident Action Plan (IAP), providing real-time situational awareness, risk assessments, and operational feedback that help achieve tactical objectives while balancing operational effectiveness with firefighter safety (Risk vs Benefit).
As incidents grow in size and/or complexity, so should the safety organization. Expanding the safety function through the addition of qualified Assistant Safety Officers (A*O) enhances comprehensive hazard identification, risk management, and responder accountability across the incident.
