The Public Safety Training Package also include competencies that address the roles for Workplace Emergency Response and the roles as outlined in AS 3745.
AS 3745 - Emergency control organisation and procedures for buildings
This standard sets out recommended procedures for the safety of people in buildings during emergencies, establishes guidelines on the appointment of the Emergency Planning Committee, the setting up of an Emergency Control Organisation (ECO), the preparation of emergency procedures and addresses the authority of ECO personnel while executing their duties. It covers emergency situations until the appropriate emergency service arrives to take control, at which time, the ECO should work in conjunction with such service.
The Public Safety industry requires a highly skilled workforce able to work in very specialised operations, within hazardous environments using highly trained operational personnel using advanced technology, risk management, committed teamwork and high awareness of personal risk and protection.
The Public Safety Training Package reflects the wide range of skills and qualifications applied to work in public safety and is currently being reviewed. Find out more from the Review of the Public Safety Training Package.
