An ECO's priority is the safety of facility occupants and visitors during an emergency which means ECO members are responsible for pre-emergency, emergency, and post-emergency actions. Careful planning, training, and initiation must take place for this to happen safely and effectively.  This is done by an Emergency Planning Committee.

If you are a member of an Emergency Planning Committee, then this course is a must for you.

This course covers the skills and knowledge required by a member of an Emergency Planning Committee to document and maintain a facility emergency plan, to establish and maintain an emergency control organisation, and to operate in accordance with the facility's emergency plan.

It includes initiating emergency response planning, ensuring an emergency control organisation is in place, providing for initiation and control of the initial emergency response, providing for post-initial response activities, and planning and implementing emergency control training and providing support in the post response and/or recovery phase.

All aspects of this course will be undertaken in accordance with legislative requirements, organisational policies and procedures and accepted safe practices. The course has been developed to cover occupants and facilities as specified in Australian Standard (AS) 3745 and AS4083. Occupants are people attending a facility on a permanent or temporary basis such as an employee, contractor, student, or resident, but not a visitor or patient. A facility is a building, structure, or workplace that is, or may be, occupied by people (occupants).
