How we respond as professionals dictates the success of our organisations

It is quite common for individuals from all levels of an organisation to be involved in and even lead, the emergency response and risk management scenarios in large and small organisations. A cook, teacher, welder, police officer, cleaner, manager or CEO (to name just a few of the roles ERRM leaders hold) may all be called upon to lead in a time of emergency or crisis.

When an emergency arrives or a crisis occurs it is usually without warning, creates fear & uncertainty and disrupts day-to-day life. The individuals who lead the emergency response may find themselves in charge of people who are usually more senior than them. This is the result of a suitable training plan and clear organizational policy & procedure; this is common, to be expected and also supported.

What kinds of Emergency Response & Risk Management positions are held during a time of crisis?

Assessing situations: trained personal identify if the situation is small and non-impacting on the wider organization. For crisis situations that do not impact the entire organization, localized responses are put in place. In a situation where an entire organisation, or the wider community is affected, the trained personnel will swiftly move to delegate authority to act.

Delegate authority to act: the trained Person In Charge (PIC) who are designated as Incident Managers will assign specific people to lead the emergency response in certain ways which:

• isolate the risk
• remove additional people from harm
• communicate to suitable authorities
• maintain communication within the organisation
• help the emergency response team to deal with the stress they may feel in the crisis situation so they can perform well
