Site Emergency and Crisis Planning
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Guards raise the alarm and get people out. Supervisors take charge for the first minutes. But whether those minutes go well is decided months earlier, by the plan a manager writes, the people it names, the equipment it puts in place and the drills it demands. When a fire, a bomb threat, a flood, a violent attack or an epidemic arrives, nobody has time to invent a plan.
Focus: one all-hazards plan with clear roles, a crisis team that can decide fast, one voice to the outside world, links with the authorities before you need them, and regular exercises.
Learning objectives
- Tell an emergency from a crisis, and plan for both.
- Write an all-hazards site emergency plan with common actions and hazard-specific annexes.
- Set up a crisis team and its first-hour routine.
- Set priorities: life first, then stabilising the incident, then property and recovery.
- Plan communications with one spokesperson, and support for families.
- Set the policy for bomb threats and suspicious items, strikes, events and epidemics.
- Build links with neighbours and the authorities, and test the plan with exercises.
