Industrial Emergency Personnel: What are the Roles Required?

Industrial emergency personnel don’t just respond to emergencies, they become a comprehensive resource to assist in planning and implementing the facility’s health, safety, and environmental protection initiatives.

By training and certifying response personnel in multiple areas, this allows them to switch from one role to another depending upon where they are most needed at a given time. This allows an organization’s management to focus on its core operations with confidence. There are a variety of industrial emergency response functions to be filled to ensure the smooth operation of industrial facilities;

Control Room Personnel

Here personnel oversee the monitoring and assessment of electronic systems such as fire detection, electronic access control, closed-circuit television, alarm systems, and other building systems to deter and protect against all illegal and unauthorized activities. They coordinate dispatch and communications for emergency response, incident management, and organization-wide notifications of incidents. They will oversee the handling of calls received relating to security and emergencies. There is a strict onus on them to ensure the integrity of data recordkeeping, reports, call logs, and other information.

D4H Incident Management’s Control Room interface is specifically designed for control room operators managing multiple high-level incidents. The platform will give an overview of all ongoing incidents and allow you to track information such as their individual location, their status, and situation report. The control room has its own updates log and audit trail, as will each control room incident. Any control room incident can be easily scaled up to a full-scale incident channel should the situation escalate.
