I am currently doing some research before writing an emergency response plan, but have been advised to steer clear of the name of incident controller. basically my company has approximately 2000 employees and we will have approximately 90 fire wardens. Obviously someone needs to coordinate all these people as well as the information from fire wardens and pass this and other info to the fire brigade, so what do we call this person??

our site employeeea bout 400 people and we have recently trained key people up in the role of incident commanders (based in a n office in communication by radio phone), Incident coordinator (do the running around and report back to incident commander), it's not intended just for fire evacuations but any incident (bomb threat, chemical spill, power failure etc)

when one persons needs to liase with several people and departments at once, as well as emergency services. and will take control of the situation using the co-ordinators as assistance / tools with as many as 2000 people to look after i would have thought you may need to look at this.

P.S what ever you call the person everyone will make fun of it any way, I know we do lol

Incident commander?

I dont think it would matter if they were called George as long as their responsabilities are clearly defined

Hello, this is what we have in place for 1300 employees

from lowest level fire marshal upwards

1. local fire marshals - to carry out evacuation and perform roll call at assembly points.

They report to the

2. assembly point co-ordinator - who will record any missing persons or extra persons (from another area of the site or visitors etc)

Who reports to the

3. incident control room (via two way radios) - which is located at security gatehouse - a senior manager will take overall control (with a small team) to record the evacuation progress and details, control and direct all emergency responders
