JESIP (Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles) is how police, fire and ambulance services work together at major incidents. Our SafetyGenius emergency response plan brings those same principles onto your construction site — so when an incident happens, your team and the emergency services share one picture, one language and one response.
What's included
- Site emergency response plan aligned with the five JESIP principles
- Clear roles for site incident command and liaison with responders
- Emergency services briefing packs: site plans, hazards, access and key contacts
- Scenario planning for fire, collapse, serious injury, spills and crane incidents
- Worker and contractor training, drills and exercises
- Post-incident review, investigation and continuous improvement
Ideal for: Principal contractors, sub-contractors, project teams and clients on construction and high-risk sites.
