Running the First Minutes of an Emergency
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
A fire alarm at 2 a.m. A bomb threat call. A worker crushed by a forklift. In the first minutes, the site manager is often not there. You are. People will look to you. Clear, calm orders in these minutes save lives. Confusion costs them.
Focus: take charge, make sure help is called, give every task to a named person, keep the site secure, keep a log, and hand over cleanly when the manager or emergency services arrive.
Learning objectives
- Take charge of an emergency until a manager or the emergency services take over.
- Give clear, named tasks to guards and check they are done.
- Keep the gate clear, guide responders in, and keep security cover on the rest of the site.
- Keep an emergency log and protect the privacy of people who are hurt.
- Keep the call tree current.
- Support management and police during a bomb threat, including searches and assembly points.
- Hand over at the meeting point, and run a debrief afterwards.
