Control measure
Site-Specific Risk Information (SSRI): Waste sites
Control measure knowledge
Well-managed sites should have a site plan. If storing combustible waste, a permitted site must have a fire prevention plan. For information about contents of these plans refer to Environment Agency: Fire prevention plans.
Strategic actions
Fire and rescue services should:
- Hold Site-Specific Risk Information (SSRI) and make this readily available to responding personnel
- Consider participating in multi-agency site visits to enhance information gathering
Tactical actions
Incident commanders should:
Access and review any onsite environmental and fire prevention and mitigation plans
Consider other site-specific information that may be available through other agencies, such as environmental agencies or local authority
Obtain a site manifest and any Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) documentation
