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.
11
Outer Cordon Inner Cordon
Scene Access Point 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.

Outer Cordon Inner Cordon
Scene Access Point All rendezvous locations and the cordon size subject to regular hazard and dynamic risk assessment (usually by Fire or Police commander on scene)
