The only position needed in EVERY incident is an "incident commander". All other command staff, general staff and subsidiary positions would be filled as necessary. Under HAZMAT regulations in the USA, an "incident safety officer" is also required when there is a HAZMAT incident, off-loading these duties from the Incident Commander.

A typical team would consist of a minimum of eight well-equipped and trained members. Of these, two individuals perform incident operations and rescue, two others serve as operations backup, two are the Decontamination Team, and there is one safety and one operations officer. The minimum number of personnel needed to manage a specific hazardous materials incident safely depends on how much hazardous material is involved, what kind of hazardous material is involved, and where the incident is in regard to populations, waterways, and transportation corridors.
