This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to manage all activities and personnel deployed to resolve a Level 3 incident through use and management of internal and external resources.

It includes establishing control, establishing control facilities, developing and maintaining a control structure, establishing procedures to permit control to be exercised, developing and maintaining coordination arrangements, assessing situation and determining priorities, providing public information, developing an incident action plan and complementary incident plans, maintaining control of incident, managing implementation of incident plans, supporting relief and recovery and concluding incident activities and review incident activities.

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 the delegation of all functions.

A person performing this role has the title of Incident Controller Level 3 and is appointed by the organisation with the legislative responsibility for overall management of the incident. The 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.

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.
