Inner Cordon
Inner cordon provides immediate security of the hazard area and potential crime scene
A dynamic risk assessment will determine size e.g. hard cover, hazards, threat.
Scene Access Point
Outer Cordon
Inner Cordon
Outer cordon forms a secure area around the inner cordon with controlled access. Wider incident impacts and responder needs affect decisions on outer cordons e.g. egress of
ambulances, geography of area.
Scene Access Point
Outer Cordon
Inner Cordon
All rendezvous locations and the cordon size subject to regular hazard and dynamic risk assessment (usually by Fire or Police commander on scene)

action/effect? When and where do these actions take place in
relation to each other? What control measures do I need to impose?
