ISO-Notes
Incident Safety Officer Reporting software
ISO-Notes was designed to provide:
- Create a systematic way for the on-scene ISO to report after an incident
- Provide a systematic way to judge each incident regardless of complexity
- Standardize the reporting of all incidents for further evaluation
- Increase scene safety through standardization
- Assist in providing standards to work towards during incidents
- Help to remove or eliminate any personal biases of the ISO
- Provide supervisors with an easty to read/use report for each incident
Reports are created in the same manner regardless of the size or complexity of the incident. Over 90% of the incidents are reviewed in an easy to read 3 page report. It has page one for statistics, page two for the Safety Officer's narrative and page three for the incident objectives.
Our forms approach is used to evaluate each incident type in a similar manner. The organization establishes the standards and trains on those standards so this creates uniformity in evaluation regardless of the experience of the safety officer or the size of the incident.
This creates a written record of all incidents regardless of how well the incident went. It is critical to note both the great job we do and to note those times when we could do better.
We have been around long before the Near-Miss reporting system and our system does just that. It documents what went well and what didn't so that we can learn from others and we do not have to make that same mistake ourselves.
