Have you ever fallen into a trap where you think someone else has already performed critical safety measures on an incident? It is easy to assume that someone else from the responding crew(s) will take care of some obvious tasks. In this week’s featured firefighter near-miss report,the crews may have experienced tunnel vision and focused on the obvious while forgetting one of those “little things” like vehicle stabilization. Maybe they were overwhelmed with the multi-victim collision and experienced task overload. This can easily happen when the responsibilities exceed the capacity to manage all the simultaneous functions that need to occur for safe incident mitigation. This report reminds us that good crew coordination, having defined roles and responsibilities for each riding assignment and concise on-scene communications, can lead to enhancement of crew effectiveness.
As you read this report, think about what changes you or your organization have made since this report was submitted in 2006. What discussions have you had in understanding the contributing factors of ineffective crew management, including proper task allocation, compliance to your assignment and compliance to your riding position?
“我们对涉及单个车辆的主要州际公路上的多维克蒂姆碰撞做出了回应。我们到达了第一台发动机之后，医务人员和主管在现场。多名消防员在车辆中及其周围，同时移走受伤的受害者。直到第三个运输部门出现在现场，有人才意识到车辆从未被固定过。这辆车不在公园里，点火开关已经打开，没有采取车轮盖子或车辆稳定措施。现场的高级官员有20年的经验。每个人都必须假设“其他人”已经照顾了确保车辆的安全。”
总的来说，我们必须意识到隧道的视野，并且可能发生人为错误，因为我们的本性是要专注于明显的，而忘记了“小东西”。我们需要记住，我们个人能力的能力会导致在执行我们的任务方面的信心和勇气。最终导致更安全的工作环境。
After you have reviewed the entire report, consider the following questions.
- Do your SOPs call for specific duties for each riding assignment? If so, could this same scenario occur in your department?
- “资历”玩吗role in complacency here?
- Would a separate, designated incident scene safety officer be of any benefit here?
- 如果错过了稳定，从事患者护理的机组人员可能会忽略什么？
- Who would be the incident commander here; the engine officer, medic or the supervisor?
