This unit covers the competency required to take and establish control of a Level 3 incident.
A Level 3 incident is characterised by degrees of complexity that may require the establishment of divisions for the effective management of the incident.
Control refers to the overall direction of emergency management activities at an incident. Authority for control is established in legislation or in an emergency plan and carries with it the responsibility for tasking other organisations in accordance with the needs of the situation. Control relates to situations and operates horizontally across organisations.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
