Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Assess hazards ofmaterialson site
   • Emergency response plans, tactical fire plans and other documentation are accessed and reviewed
2. Identification of hazards of onsite materials is carried out
3. Facility risk factors are determined
4. Potential incidents are determined
5. Factors which may contribute to loss of containment, control of, or fire involving hazardous materials are assessed
6. Information about hazardous materials is accessed using a range or sources
7. Identify, determine and assess consequences of release of onsite materials (non-fire scenario)
   • Range of dangerous goods onsite are identified and assessed, in accordance with organisational procedures
8. Consequences of dangerous goods releases are identified and assessed, in accordance with organisational procedures
9. Impact on immediate area, personnel, property and the environment is identified, in accordance with organisational procedures
10. Resources available to combat the release of onsite materials are identified and assessed
11. Determine and assess consequences ofthe fire scenario (fire, chemicaland gas release)involving hazardous materials
    • Range of fire scenarios involving hazardous materials, including gas and chemical is identified, in accordance with organisational procedures
12. Consequences of each fire scenario involving hazardous materials are identified and assessed, in accordance with organisational procedures
13. Impact on immediate area, personnel, property and environment of a hazardous materials fire is identified, in accordance with organisational procedures
14. Assess fire and incident andsafety management systems and their performance
    • Fire, incident and safety management systems including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery are identified
15. Operation and performance of fire, incident and safety management systems is assessed, in accordance with performance based criteria
16. Fire, incident and safety management system design assumptions and fire organisational operations are assessed
17. Recovery strategies are identified and assessed, in accordance with organisational procedures
18. Report and recommend action
    • Proposed or existing fire, incident and safety management systems are documented
19. Evaluation of fire, incident and safety management systems is recorded
20. Recommendations and proposed upgrades to fire, incident and safety management systems are reported, documented and forwarded, in accordance with organisational procedures
