Within CHP buildings, tenants, patients and building users safety is our top priority. In the event of a fire, it is vitally important to know who is responsible for co-ordinating the site evacuation and assuring the safety of building users.

There is an update regarding the single point of contact for events such as the evacuation of the building called the ‘incident controller’. A Fire Incident Controller is responsible for overseeing the safety and management of fire incidents. They act as the central point of contact for emergency services and coordinating the response to ensure a safe evacuation. They may also be known as a ‘Lead Fire Warden’.

A full explanation of roles and responsibilities is available in the document below.
