Effective Role Identification at Incident Scenes
Importance of Role Identification
Clear identification of roles and responsibilities is crucial at incident scenes:
Challenges with Role Identification
Key Issue: Determining who is in charge and identifying key roles can be problematic.
Use of Tabards for Role Clarity
Effective Solution: Utilising tabards with clear markings helps identify roles effectively:
- Consider the cost implications of different tabard systems.
- Opt for versatile tabards that allow role changes without requiring multiple tabards.
- Use different colours only for senior commanders to distinguish their role.
Flexibility in Tabard Design
Adaptable Tabards: Tabards designed for versatility enhance role flexibility:
- Tabards with reversible designs and interchangeable slides for various roles.
- Ensure slides are accessible and securely stored within the tabard itself to avoid misplacement.
Creating New Roles
Emergent Roles: Sometimes new roles may need to be created on the spot:
- Have provisions for blank slides and markers to accommodate unforeseen roles.
- Example: A liaison officer role established during a football club exercise.
Ensure that all roles, including unforeseen ones, are clearly identifiable and integrated into the incident management structure.
