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.
