Operational Protocol

ERT Shift Handover Checklist

Emergency Response Team: Inter-Shift Transfer Protocol

Purpose:This protocol ensures critical operational intelligence, equipment serviceability, and active risk profiles transfer accurately between changing ERT shifts. Use this checklist at every rostered shift change, unplanned deployment, or extended operational period to maintain continuity and prevent information loss during high-consequence incidents.

1. Current Operational Status

2. Equipment & Resource Status

3. Active Site Hazards & Risk Profile

4. Outstanding Actions & Follow-Up

5. Communications & Escalation

6. Handover Confirmation

Note: Completed handover checklists must be retained for audit and incident investigation purposes. File in ERT logbook or electronic record system. In the event of an active emergency, conduct verbal handover immediately and complete documentation when operationally safe to do so.
