Under what condition should the ISO actively advocate for safety measures during an operation?

The ISO, or Incident Safety Officer, plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of all personnel involved in operations. Advocating for safety measures at all times, regardless of the situation, is essential for maintaining a proactive safety culture. This continuous advocacy helps to identify and mitigate potential hazards before they can lead to incidents or accidents.

By advocating for safety measures during every phase of an operation, the ISO ensures that safety is integrated into decision-making processes and operational planning. They serve as a constant reminder of the importance of safety, which can influence the behavior of team members and create an environment where everyone is vigilant about possible risks.

Engaging in safety advocacy at all times allows the ISO to address emerging risks in real time and ensures that safety protocols are observed consistently, even in high-pressure or rapidly changing situations. This continuity helps to reinforce the critical nature of safety practices and encourages a mindset of mindfulness among all team members, ultimately leading to safer operations.
