Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of the ISO during the Implementing Response Objectives step?

The responsibility of monitoring the decontamination area for signs of contaminants typically falls under the purview of the decontamination or hazardous materials teams rather than the Incident Safety Officer (ISO) during the Implementing Response Objectives step. The ISO's main focus is on ensuring the safety of personnel responding to an incident, which includes coordinating safety protocols and briefings, as well as overseeing the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) among responders.

In contrast, coordination with the Medical Unit Leader for entry medical monitoring is crucial for ensuring that medical support is available in case of emergencies. Holding a pre-entry safety briefing is essential for preparing response personnel for potential hazards, and ensuring that backup crews are properly equipped with PPE helps mitigate risks associated with the incident. These responsibilities reinforce the ISO’s role in maintaining safety and health standards during response operations.
