Aircraft incidents

By: Great Britain: Department for Communities and Local Government,Chief Fire & Rescue Adviser

The Fire and Rescue Service Operational Guidance - Aircraft Incidents provides a consistent approach that forms the basis for common operational practices. It supports interoperability between fire and rescue services, other emergency responders, the aviation industry and other groups. This guidance covers a wide range of incident types that Fire and Rescue Services are likely to encounter in relation to aircraft. It is applicable to any event regardless of scale, from small incidents, such as an accident involving a microlight, to a large incident involving a civil aircraft (e.g. Airbus A380) resulting in a large scale major incident. It covers the time period from the receipt of the first emergency call to the closure of the incident by the Fire and Rescue Service Incident Commander. Whilst this guidance may be of use to a number of other agencies, it is mainly for the UK Fire and Rescue Service. In addition to detailed tactical and technical information it also outlines the key operational and strategic responsibilities and considerations that need to be taken into account to enable the Fire and Rescue Service to train, test intervention strategies and plan to ensure effective response at an aircraft incident

Secondly incidents involving terrorist activity and the resultant mass decontamination of casualties. This assessment does not cover mass decontamination. Depending on the nature and scale of the incident a variety of significant hazards may be present. Therefore contents of other specific generic risk assessments may need to be considered.

Rescues from confined spaces

2.1.3 trenches/pits

By: Great Britain: Department for Communities and Local Government,Chief Fire & Rescue Adviser

Trenches occur as part of activities in building works and utilities maintenance; pits occur in a variety of locations such as agricultural and industrial sites. Risks vary with the depth of the trench or pit and ground conditions surrounding the area. The entry of water, other fluids or gases creates additional hazards for operational personnel. Typical incidents involve workers being: trapped or buried beneath ground level; crushed by movement of soil, equipment or machinery; falling into an open pit or trench; drowning. Trench or pit collapse can result from excessive rainfall, vibration from nearby heavy plant, insufficient piling and bracing of the trench sides, heavy plant positioned too close to trench/pit. An incident may require the removal of a quantity of soil, or of machinery or plant to access trapped persons. Typical hazards and associated risks are outlined, along with key control measures to be taken by the Fire and Rescue Service.

Fire and Rescue Service operational guidance - railway incidents

By: Great Britain: Department for Communities and Local Government,Chief Fire & Rescue Adviser

The Fire and Rescue Service Operational Guidance - Railway Incidents presents a framework for a safe system of work for operations at incidents involving railways. It provides robust yet flexible guidance that can be adapted to the nature, scale and requirements of the incident. Incidents involving railways may generate intense media attention where the operations of the emergency services are rigorously scrutinised. Whilst much of this attention is approving it will invariably focus on the preparedness of the emergency services and their operational effectiveness. Such incidents may place significant demands on local fire and rescue services and often require a national co-ordinated response from across the country
