Final answer:
If the ISO does not have a technical level certification, an Alternate Safety Officer (ASO-HM) should be appointed to assist with technician safety functions.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to be effective, it needs to have competency and specific requirements. If the ISO does not have a technical level certification, an Alternate Safety Officer (ASO-HM) should be appointed to assist with technician safety functions. An ASO-HM is someone who meets or exceeds the NFPA 472 requirements for a hazardous materials technician and is trained in the responsibilities of the ISO portion as it relates to hazmat response.
