National Grid Task 70 Practice Test

In emergencies, the person in charge on scene is the incident commander, who has overall authority to direct everything that happens and to keep people safe. You check in with the incident commander to report your status, receive assignments, and coordinate with others. The incident commander sets priorities, determines safety zones, and decides when to request more resources. The site safety officer works within that structure to keep operations safe, but you report to the incident commander, not to them directly. The fire marshal handles investigation after the scene is under control, and the local police chief isn’t the typical on-scene contact unless they’ve been designated as the incident commander. So the best person to check in with is the incident commander.
