This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to provide strategic advice to the Incident Controller on issues related to safety, health and welfare at an incident. This unit applies to a person who is appointed to the role of safety officer. It includes contributing to safety, health and welfare of all personnel involved in an incident, providing strategic advice to personnel on mitigating safety, health and welfare risks, managing safety team and resources, contributing to planning processes and supporting the management of safety event investigations.

A person performing the role of Safety Officer is appointed by the Incident Controller.
