Major Incident
Stage 3: Initial response - Additional guidance
Urgent HSE attendance
HSE advice may be required where there are obvious continuing risks,
including those arising from the effects of the incident, to the health or
safety of those on site, or to the health or safety of others such as the
emergency services.
Other relevant considerations include whether:
- the emergency situation is under sufficient control so as not to place
HSE staff at risk from attendance
- action is needed to ensure the integrity of the site
and the identification and preservation of evidence
- immediate action is, or maybe, required to prohibit
any activity
- another agency may need to take action
