Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
In a typical scenario a person would gather strategic operational and risk information and translate that into a framework of management and operational systems which enable organisation personnel to effectively prepare for and respond to an incident. During development of and on completion of the system the person would liaise with external agencies or mutual assistance partners.
Key features of the competence would be:
establishment of management and operational systems
production of written strategies, tactics and procedures
testing and assessing aspects of the incident response system
The person may:
identify and familiarise themselves with appropriate and relevant legislation
consult widely within the organisation
facilitate and manage the introduction and operation of the system
facilitate the review of the incident response system
Generally, the person would be part of an incident management team and typically respond to an incident manager. While independent action may sometime be required, the person is expected to liaise, cooperate and consult with other members of the team as necessary.
This unit covers the strategic management functions required to develop and establish incident response preparedness and response systems. Using the results of hazard analyses as a starting point, a person would establish an interactive process and manage a collaborative effort which raises the ability of the organisation to respond to an incident.
