This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to establish and take control of a multi-agency response to an emergency situation. Control refers to the overall direction of emergency management activities in the emergency.

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.

The unit is applicable to public safety personnel who have a command role within their own organisation and are required to manage and control staff from all agencies in a multi-agency response environment.

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

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
