Working with the emergency services

You must immediately establish whether there is a continued risk requiring notification/involvement of the emergency services.

If there is such a risk, the following questions are all key:
  • which services should be notified (eg police, fire service, ambulance)?
  • what assistance will they require? For example, will they need access to the site or to site plans, or assistance from the company's technical teams?
  • Who in the incident management (IM) team is responsible for liaising with the emergency services?
