This document outlines considerations for incident safety officers (ISOs) responding to technical rescue incidents. It discusses regulations requiring ISO coordination with assistant safety officers-rescue technicians, safety planning, and rehab. Technical rescue incidents are classified and each classification has unique hazards. The document emphasizes that firefighters' risk-taking attitudes require mitigation and describes the LCES approach for developing effective safety briefings.
