To record these persons, Sector Safety will appoint inner cordon recorders (ICR’s - minimum role watch manager) to:
- Identify all persons who have not been issued with armbands by the inner cordon controller and issue an armband on which is entered the date, entry point letter and number (prefixed by IC2 e.g. IC2/01) record details on form IC2 which is an interim form for passing information to the ICC.
- Make sure that appropriate protective clothing is being worn.
- Make sure that they are aware of the evacuation procedure and any safety issues surrounding the incident, and, instruct them to leave via an appropriate entry/exit point on completion of their task/s, e.g. please leave the incident zone by entry point A.
- Pass details recorded on form IC2 (Appendix 2), to the appropriate inner cordon controller.
- Direct those who do not have a role, or are considered to be wearing inappropriate protective clothing to leave the area (the assistance of Police should be requested in this function if necessary) and consider if non-brigade personnel need to be accompanied.
