This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to implement actions to resolve a Level 3 incident, consistent with the objectives identified by the Incident Controller.It includes establishing command, establishing command facilities, establishing a command structure, establishing procedures to permit command to be exercised, contributing to the development of the incident action plan, managing operations, concluding operations and reviewing operations.

A person performing the role of Operations Officer is delegated responsibility by the Incident Controller. They support the Incident Controller and other members of the Incident Management Team (IMT).Operations Officers are required to implement strategies to resolve the incident, manage all activities that are undertaken directly to resolve the incident and manage all resources, people and equipment, assigned to the operations section.

Level 3 incidents are characterised by degrees of complexity and consequence that may require the establishment of significant resources and structure for the effective management of the situation. These incidents will usually involve delegation of all functions.Authorisation to perform this role is subject to organisational policies and procedures.

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