Emergency Services Officer (ESO)
An Emergency Services Officer (ESO) is a first responder who ensures a work site is always in a state of operational readiness in the event of an emergency.
Overview
ESO’s make sure all staff, workers, guests, contractors, and visitors on a work site are safe and secure; and in the event of an emergency, they are the first to react. Emergencies can be related to fires, mass casualty (underground and above ground) and even accidents which occur outside of the work site.
This is typically a multi-skilled role covering security, fire, rescue, medical response, training and work health and safety.
