What is the role of a TSSA inspector after an incident?

A TSSA inspector plays a critical role in managing the aftermath of an incident, and one of their primary responsibilities is to assess the incident scene. Once the inspector has gathered sufficient information, including data related to safety and compliance, they make the determination to release the incident scene for further action. This task is important in ensuring that the site is safe and that any further investigation or repair work can be conducted without compromise to safety.

In addition to releasing the scene, the inspector may indeed be involved in other aspects of the investigation, such as conducting interviews or managing the investigation process, but their fundamental duty is to ensure that the area is cleared appropriately and safely after all necessary examinations have been completed. This clarity around the release of the incident scene is vital for the business and any responding teams to proceed effectively with repairs or further actions, ensuring overall operational continuity and public safety.
