This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to lead a facility emergency response team in the control of an emergency in its' early stages prior to the arrival of emergency services and/or specialist response teams. It includes leading an emergency response team by preparing the team for a facility emergency, coordinating the response to control a facility emergency, communicating with and coordinating personnel and leading a team's recovery from a facility emergency.

This unit has been developed to cover the facilities as considered in Australian Standard (AS) 3745 and AS4083. For this unit, as covered by AS3745 and/or AS4083, occupants are people attending a facility on a permanent or temporary basis such as an employee, contractor, student or resident, but not a visitor or patient and a facility is a building, structure or workplace that is, or may be, occupied by people (occupants).

All aspects of the unit must be undertaken in accordance with legislative requirements, organisational policies and procedures, and accepted safe practices. It applies to team leaders of a facility emergency team.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
