Evaluation and control
What is the most important thing that a well applied SOP improves
Departmental safety
Which are strict directives that must be followed with little or no flexibility
Procedures
Where is the deficiency usually found in a department that suffers from costly accidents
Training
What is the first step taken in the classic risk management process
Hazard identification
How often should firefighter and line officers have health screenings performed
Annually
What is the first thing that should be addressed in the DOP outline
Purpose of the SOP
During which step of the class risk assessment process is a value established for the hazards in terms of frequency and severity
Hazard evaluation
What is the understanding of why you do something
Education
What leads in causes of firefighter line of duty deaths
Overexertion
Which of the following in the least important in the operational triad
Equipment

1980s
What is made up of the ideas, skills, and customs that are passed from one generation to another
Safety culture
What can be looked at when determining which equipment can make a difference in the safety of personnel
Injury and death statistics
Uncommon sense can be described as the ability of the ISO to
Ask and ponder two questions: what’s the worst that can happen here? What is the probability of it happening?
Creating a safe operational environment is dependent on three components
(The triad)procedures, equipment, and personnel
Guidelines
Are adaptable templates that allow flexibility in the application
The protective (insulative) quality of structural gear is given as a relative value known as
The thermal protective performance (TPP) rating
Training
Is the process of learning and applying knowledge and skill
Education
Is the process of developing one’s analytical ability using principles, concepts, and values.
There are three factors that must be addressed as part of the personnel leg of safety triad
Training, health, and attitude
Risk
Can simply be defined as the chance of damage, injury, or loss
Risk management
Is process of minimizing the chance, degree, or probability of damage, injury, or loss
Five step process of classic risk management
- Hazard identification
- Hazard Evaluation
- Hazard Prioritization
- Hazard Control
- Hazard Monitoring
The fire service mitigation hierarchy refers to a preferred order of hazard control strategies
