Near-Miss Listen & Learn: The Incident Safety Officer

In this edition of Near-Miss Listen & Learn, Battalion Chief John Tippett examines incidents where incident safety officers were lacking. What impact did it have on the incidents? He also discusses reports where safety officers knew, and did the right thing.
Tippett explores why the role of the incident safety officer is becoming recognized as an indispensable component of every incident scene.
This edition of Near-Miss Listen and Learn takes its cue from the March calendar topic found on the Near-Miss 24/7/365 Safety Calendar.
