Co-ordinator
Name:
Page 15 of 38
Incident Coordinator
Manages the incident. Appoints individuals to team leader roles. Responsible for communication with Emergency Services. Delegates tasks and does not get involved in
specific activities. Remains in one place and is available to make decisions. Deals with all external enquiries including media contact (or appoints someone to do this.) Monitors
the bigger picture. Ensures events and key decisions are recorded.
Security
Ensures people, building/site and objects are secure. Manages entry to site and establishes cordons. Appoints individuals to travel off-site with objects if needed. Arranges for
site to be secured following salvage operation, e.g. manned guarding, security fencing, alarm resets.
Communication & Welfare
Ensures information is shared. Keeps in contact with all teams. Monitors and sends messages. Keeps Incident Co-ordinator updated. Monitors communication between
salvage and recovery teams to ensure the flow of salvaged objects is appropriate. Monitors the health and safety of individuals. Ensures people have breaks and looks for
signs of stress/fatigue. If appointed, handles press/external communications.
D
ocumentation
Implements a controlled documentation process to ensure whereabouts of objects are recorded. Ensures all items are identified and/or recorded as they are treated and
packed. Located with recovery teams. Security aspect to this role, so liaises with security contact or holds this role as well. Documentation can be a lengthy process so a team
may be required if people are available.
Q
uartermaster
Manages physical resources. Identifies materials available and allocates them to salvage and recovery teams whilst coordinating requests for resources. Obtains additional
items if needed.
Salvage Team Coordinator
Manages the removal of objects from the building/site or liaises with the emergency services salvage teams. Prioritises the order of objects to be salvaged and accounts for the
unique circumstances of the incident. Communicates with the Incident Coordinator. Controls access to the salvage site or provides clear instructions to the emergency
services. Ensures Incident coordinator and Recovery Team leaders know what to expect. Assesses the level of triage necessary at the point of recovery.
Salvage Teams
With the consent of the emergency services and under the guidance of the Salvage Team Coordinator, the Salvage Teams remove objects from rooms or area agreed with
Emergency Services. Team transports to object triage area. Ensures security of objects by handing to recovery teams. Appropriate PPE should be worn.
Recovery Team coordinator
Organises resources for the triage of objects. Establishes work stations, equipment and teams for wet recovery and dry recovery. Ensures all salvaged objects are treated,
packed and labelled. Ensures location of objects is documented or liaises with Documentation team.
Wet recovery Teams
Deals with the worst affected salvaged items (wet, contaminated or physically damaged). Makes decisions on immediate actions, i.e. further washing, freezing, drying, etc.
Provides initial object first aid. Team members record treatment and confirm documentation as items leave for storage.
Dry Recovery Teams
Deals with items that do not require immediate first aid. Carefully packing, labelling and protecting objects is a priority. Team members will record condition of all objects and
confirm documentation as items leave for storage.

Entering a Flooded Building in Safety
The evacuation signal:- short blasts on a whistle
A building that has been damaged by rising floodwater is likely to be a
dangerous place.
Before entering a flooded building you must consider:
Ele
ctrical hazards
Structural hazards
Hazardous materials
Bacteria and viruses
Ventilation
1. Electrical hazards
If water has come into contact with electrical circuits, and especially if the
water rose above electrical outlets, turn off power at the main breaker o
r
f
use of the service panel. Do not turn power back on until the equipment
has been repaired or inspected by an electrician.
2. Structural hazards
Never assume that water-damaged structures, particularly ceilings, are safe.
If in doubt DO NOT ENTER. Leave immediately if shifting or unusual noises
signal a possible collapse.
3. Hazardous materials
Damaged building materials may contain asbestos and lead-based paint.
Before disturbing suspect material, precautions should be taken to prevent
exposure. Floodwaters can contain hazardous materials such as
pesticides, fuel or spilled chemicals. Play it safe and do not enter if in
doubt.
4. Bacteria and viruses
Microscopic organisms, particularly those from sewage, can be found in
mud or sediment left by floodwater. If you accidentally swallow sediment or
flo
od water that is contaminated, you might develop gastrointestinal illne
ss.
Yo
u can reduce the risk by wearing rubber gloves, not eating or smoking
,
a
nd frequent hand washing. If you get a cut or wound that is exposed t
o
f
lood water, there is some risk of tetanus and you should be vaccinated if
you haven’t received a tetanus vaccination within the past 5 years.
5. Ventilation
Do not use petrol or generator pump within an enclosed area as there is a
danger of carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Page 21 of 38
Bomb Threats
A telephone bomb threat or suspicious package should be treated seriously and dealt
with urgently. It is important to gather as much information as possible from the threat
in order to assist in decision making.
Subsequent actions will be based on the assessment of the call/package and the
security measures in place. There are three possible responses:
• The threat may demand instantaneous action and the need to evacuate the
building.
• Alternatively, you may wish to carry out a bomb search and/or wait for the
police to arrive to help in the assessment.
• Do nothing – if the threat is assessed as non-credible, no further action is
required.
Bomb Search
A search must only take place when the Responsible Person has assessed the threat
and decided that immediate evacuation was not necessary. You may wish to wait until
the police arrive before making the decision to search, however the police themselves
will NOT normally search premises themselves.
There are three levels of search:
• Level 1 – all areas fully open to the public
• Level 2 – areas where visitors or contractors may have access
• Level 3 – all remaining areas
Searching must be done in pairs. If something is found:
1. Do not touch or move it
2. Move away immediately
3. If possible close the door to the room
4. Withdraw all people
5. Try to remember as much as possible about the appearance and
6. location of the device – you will need to remain on hand to brief the police.
7. If you haven’t already done so, call the police.
Security
Page 22 of 38
Evacuation
The decision to evacuate will normally be the responsibility of the Responsible Person,
although the police may advise an immediate evacuation. The decision should be
based on the following:
• If the threat appears real and imminent, then all staff should be evacuated.
• If the warning appears real, but indicates that the threat is not immediate, staff
should first search their own work stations, then evacuate.
• If the warning is less credible with no immediate threat, search teams could
carry out their sweep, only evacuating if something suspicious is found.
Care should be taken when choosing an evacuation route. People should not have to
pass through the risk area to evacuate:
• If there is a device within the building, care will be needed in choosing which
stairwell/exits to use.
• If the device is in an adjacent property or in a vehicle, evacuation at ground
floor should avoid the risk area.
The evacuation route does not stop outside the building. The guideline retreat
distances are:
• Device inside the building - retreat 60m Device outside the building – up to
suitcase size retreat 100m
vehicle borne – retreat 500m
Site Security during Evacuation
At sites with important collections, security measures should be put in place to protect
valuable objects. If it is safe to do so, staff should be positioned where they can
observe building entrances at a distance. Alternatively, staff could patrol the site
perimeter to prevent unauthorised access.
The movement and storage of valuables during salvage operations also needs
consideration. Please refer to guidance note ‘Documentation and Security of
Salvaged Objects’ which can be found in this manual.
Page 23 of 38
Security During Incident Operations
Topic
Recommended Action
IEP Folder Security
When using the folders, keep them secure at all times and control the
issue of grab sheets to salvage teams.
Incident Response
Plan the movement and storage of objects or items as determined by
the incident.
Cordon off area’s where possible
If the site or office is open, visitors/staff should be directed to the
muster point – see inside front cover of emergency response folder
As an incident develops, it is important to consider the security of
individuals, the evacuated building and objects.
Using Resources
Allocate security duties to minimise risks to salvaged collections/items.
Guarding duties may need to be different during an incident
If necessary, and if it is safe to do so, guard doors and exits
If a guarding company provides guarding services for your site,
consider asking them for additional staff for the duration of the salvage
operation. Otherwise appoint staff to these duties
Movement & Security of
Objects & Assets
Monitor the movement of objects/items. Carry out this activity at a
safe/appropriate distance determined by the emergency.
Ensure routes are understood and the receiving area has space
available. Monitor the receiving area
Appoint guards or staff to monitor loading and transport. If valuable
objects/items are to be transported by a third party, assign a staff
member to travel with the object/s to ensure safe and secure storage
at the agreed destination. It is essential to obtain guidance from the
conservation hotline contact, if collection objects are to be moved. It is
also essential to protect all important items, objects and data before,
during and after transport
Ensure the following items are not vulnerable to criminal activity: tills &
contents, safe & contents, stock, IT equipment, confidential data,
objects/items remaining in situ and any other confidential items.
Ensure buildings & building fabric are also not vulnerable to criminal
activity
If objects/items are to be stored in an unfamiliar environment, make
sure appropriate security exists. Appoint a static guard if necessary
Documentation
Accurate documentation is an essential security process. Valuable
objects and items may need to move to and from assessment and
treatment area’s and then to storage areas. You need to ensure
records are kept showing where objects/items are.
Triage & Treatment areas
You may need to appoint guards or staff to monitor triage and
treatment area’s
CCTV
Where available and practicable, use site security camera’s to:
monitor salvage operations
monitor entrance/exit points
view entrances/exits/salvage operations
monitor traffic (if relevant)
Site Relocation
If you need to relocate objects, staff, assets or records, ensure security
measures and protocols at the alternative location are appropriate and
suitable to ensure people and items are safe and protected. E.g. you
may need to consider additional security guarding.
Ensure appropriate asset control is introduced e.g. ensuring valuable
items/equipment or data are recorded.
Page 24 of 38
Spillages
It is essential that you attend to any spillage as soon as possible. The level of
response will depend on the nature of the spill and will therefore be site specific but
the following should be considered:
Immediate response:
• Identify what has been spilt and assess the risk to health
• Decide quickly whether expert help is required or if the situation can be dealt
with in-house using an appropriate spillage kit.
• Move people (including yourself) to a safe distance away from fumes etc
• Cordon off the area to prevent further exposure to people
• Eliminate ignition sources
• Ventilate the area by opening doors and windows
Clean Up
• Decide on a plan of action
• Only deal with the spillage if you can identify the substance and know how to
deal with it safely.
• Refer to the Hazard Data Sheets for the substances involved.
• Assemble proper materials and equipment for the clean-up
• Put on suitable Personal Protective Equipment to minimise exposure e.g.
respirator, eye protection, overalls, gloves.
• Contain the spill by absorbing liquids with a suitable absorbent material or
neutraliser.
• Prevent further spread, particularly into drains and/or watercourses.
• Correctly dispose of the spilt material and any clean up material using a
specialist disposal firm if necessary.

Documentation and Security of
Salvaged Objects
6
. Documentation
During Salvage operations it is essential to keep track of all objects an
d to
e
nsure they remain secure. Documentation is therefore important but should
not delay removal or first aid treatment of ob
jects.
A
s soon as practical a person or persons should be appointed to undertak
e
Docu
mentation.
7
. Priority Objects
T
he emergency plan identifies the highest priority objects, room by room,
with an individual salvage sheet which must stay with the object; an
Inventory of Priority Objects is kept in the response file and can be used to
record the movement of these objects.
8
. Remaining Objects
After removal and documentation of priority objects, the blank inventory
sheet can be used to record what other objects have been removed and
whether they have been stored or sent for further treatment.
9
. Labelling Objects
I
dentification labels with the inventory number should be attached to larger
items or, in the case of items crated the number of items in the crate, the
ir

0. Security
• D
ecide what security measures are needed at the earliest opportunity.
The immediate salvage scene is likely to be chaotic, and is th
e most
v
ulnerable to opportunist theft.
• W
herever possible choose a salvage area that has the following features:
o Acce
ssible from the scene
o Naturally occurring boundaries e.g. fences or walls
o Is easily overlooked
o Is away from footpaths
o Is away from planting or other features that might allow a thief to
approach unseen
• T
aping off a secure area with only one entry point, to deposit removed
objects, will help identify interlopers. Anybody not known or easily
identifiable and any suspicious activity should be challenged.
• W
here possible consider floodlighting the secure salvage area at night.
• T
he further movement of objects to a triage and treatment/packing area
can be more easily controlled and all persons working in these areas
should be reminded of their security responsibility by the Inciden
t
M
anager.
• I
f there are sufficient people, one should be appointed to supervise th
e
s
ecure salvage area and help ensure security.
• S
taff should also be alert to the possibility of people entering the building,
particularly if there are some parts unaffected by the incident but have un-
secured entrances.
• Sites with static guards should re-deploy them to protect the salvage
a
rea, control access onto site and prevent unauthorised re-entry into th
e
building.

.1 Security when Transporting Objects
• I
f objects are to be transported, they need to be logged on at the site an
d
o
ff at their destination using an off site curator or other employee.
Page 27 of 38
• High value priority objects may need to be accompanied during transport
and the security of the storage facility should be assessed before
entrusting the objects to a third party.
Dealing with the media fact sheet
1. Dealing with the media – phone calls
All media requests from journalists and television companies should be referred
to______________________________. Here’s some advice on what to do if you get a
call from a journalist at your site or office.
There is no such thing as a friendly journalist!
They are all, almost without exception, friendly and charming people but they are also
professional people for whom friendship might jeopardise their integrity or give the
perception of doing so!
Think before you speak
Don't say anything you don't really mean - not even as a joke.
Always be polite
Journalists have deadlines and can be under severe pressure to file a story. If you
can’t help by answering their question directly try to do so in an understanding way:
‘I can see your problem but...life must be difficult for you on this story but....’
Assume everything you say is on the record
You might need to say that you are going to tell them something for background or
operational reasons, but always consult Corporate Communications before doing so.
In practice, there’s no such thing as ‘off the record’.
Be careful about simple denials or ‘yes’ answers
Journalists might put a long and rambling question to you and then when you say
‘yes’, attribute it as a quote from you. It is unrealistic to ask for editorial control or copy
approval, but it is perfectly reasonable for you to ask for any quote they have taken
from you to be read back to you.
You don't have to answer questions in the terms they are put
A reporter will put something to you in negative terms such as ‘why is
_____________________________ making such a mess of its grants programme?’ It
is your job to answer as positively as possible. Say something like ‘we know that over
70% of our clients are satisfied with our grant giving arrangements....’
Page 28 of 38
2. Dealing with the media – broadcast interviews
• Prepare yourself. Rehearse and prepare a set of anticipated questions and
their answers. English Heritage is fortunate in having a large number of leading
experts. Nerves cannot usually destroy genuine knowledge, but if you don't
know your stuff, waffle will show you up. Try to think of every possible angle.
• Determine the three points you want to make and get them over as soon as
you can. Whatever the interviewer's question, try and turn it on to your ground.
For example:
‘That's an interesting question, but can I first put it to a bit of context?
• If you can think of a soundbite, use it!
• Remember to say ____________________________________ as often as
you can rather than ‘we’.
• Make sure you know the exact conditions negotiated for you by Corporate
Communications.
• Is it live or pre-recorded? Can you take something again if you are not
happy? Who else is on? Can you hear what they have said? Will you get the
last word? What is the tone of the programme? Does your contribution come
after a filmed report?
• Try and use plain language. Don’t use abstractions, latin or jargon. Use short
sentences and try and remember to keep things simple without being
patronising or ‘dumbing down’.
• If you have said what you wanted to say, shut up.
• It is not up to you to keep the conversation flowing. Don't be lured in to saying
more!
• Hair and make-up are important. Try not to be too distracted if you are
unused to make-up. Let the make-up department do their job!
• Avoid jangly jewellery and too many layers of clothing around the
neckline. It is also best to avoid small patterns such as stripes, spots and
checks, especially herringbone as they dazzle on TV.
• For male staff, a shirt and tie is normally the safest option. Some very
stylish people get away without a tie, but they have usually been ‘styled’ by a
professional or dressed very expensively.
• Sit up straight in the chair. The back of a tailored jacket can ride up making
you look hunched.
• Wear dress that is appropriate on site interviews
• Remember to smile, but not too much or you will not be believed.
• Never wear sunglasses for an outside interview.
• Check there is nothing visually distracting behind you
