The document discusses risk management concepts for incident safety officers (ISOs). It describes how ISOs must read risks at an incident and judge their acceptability based on community expectations, fire service standards, and department values and skills. It outlines three methods to develop situational awareness: the Brunacini approach, value-time-size thinking, and the ISO's own read-risk method of collecting information, analyzing hazards/opportunities, and judging risks. Firefighting involves risks rather than dangers if responders understand hazards and take steps to control them.
