Issue Date: May 2024


The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.

This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.

This unit covers the competency to identify the framework in which emergency risk management is undertaken and to develop the community's criteria for acceptance of risk.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
