Decision Log Book© - DLB©

The Decision Log Book© fills the need for a definitive record for all senior decision making staff involved in emergency duties. Designed for individual post holders, groups using the National Command and control structures, it allows a legal record to be created for future reference. This enables an organisation to fulfil its obligation to have a record of information received and decisions made during a period of a duty or for a more protracted and complex emergency incident, information for which may be contained within a number of books.

 
The DLB provides a definitive, legal record for
decision making staff involved in emergency duties


 
When used for an individual post holder, the book can be a record for one individual, lasting days or weeks, depending on the issues resolved and the decisions made. It will be a personal record, siomilar to a police officer's pocket note book.. The information on a larger complex incident may be contained within a number of DLBs.

Consider using the DLB in conjunction with our other log books and the 
"Cruciform"® Emergency Documentation System.

Hospital Trusts and Ambulance Services now use CWC Services log books for their on call and emergency response. The Health Protection Agency, Environment Agency, PCT's and a number of major hospitals also equip their managerial and on call staff with the systems. A number of Local Authorities are also starting to use CWC produced log books.

Some Fire and Rescue Services are also using the Decision Log Book©, including the Fire Service Training College at Morton in the Marsh.
