AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY STANDARDS LIMITED SKILLS SERVICE ORGANISATION Case for Change PUA12 Public Safety Training Package Public Safety Industry Reference Committee 1 A. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Industry Reference Committee submitting the Case for Change Public Safety Industry Reference Committee Skills Service Organisation responsible for preparing the Case for Change Australian Industry Standards Limited Development of the Case for Change This Case for Change developed by the Public Safety IRC, is focused on, but is not limited to, setting out the strategic and evidentiary case (including an analysis of the level of industry support) for reviewing existing and developing new Public Safety Training Package products relevant to the areas of: • • • • • • • • Fire safety and emergency response including prescribed burning operations Incident management Emergency communications centre operations Workplace emergency response Work, health and safety Emergency risk management Public safety leadership Building fire safety The Case for Change was developed in consultation with state and federal public safety agencies and stakeholders. The Case for Change was also developed with consideration of the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy, and outlines the requirements for change to ensure that the AISC can make decisions based on robust evidence. Public Safety Training Package products listed in Schedule A are proposed for review and development as part of this Case for Change. This includes: • • • • 57 existing units of competency 21 new units of competency 25 new skill sets One new qualification Products reviewed and developed because of this Case for Change will be integrated with the wider suite of Public Safety qualifications within the next release of the PUA Public Safety Training Package. B. THE CASE FOR CHANGE Drivers for Change This Case for Change is predicated on the following drivers. These are: 1. Fire sector research related to the National Guidelines for Prescribed Burning Operations and the research outcomes of both the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) and the current 2 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC. Research from both CRCs will require enhancements of units, including those related to wildfire behaviour analysis, and bushfire management units. Implementation of the revised emergency management doctrine contained within the Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System (AIIMS-4) 2017 Edition Implementation of revised Emergency Communications Centre Operations skills Implementation of the National Construction Code Implementation of model Work Health and Safety Regulations Australian Standard for planning for emergencies in facilities Implementing Strategic Directions for Fire and Emergency Services in Australia and New Zealand for 2017 – 2021 1 and the National Statement of Capability for Fire and Emergency Services 2017 2 for operational supervision, operational leadership, and crisis leadership skills within incident management teams, disaster recovery and emergency management contexts Recommended Change The Public Safety IRC recommends that the products listed in Schedule A be approved for review and development, based on the following evidence: • • Transition and review of existing products to the Standards for Training Packages ensures that the Public Safety Training Package products are of high quality, and meet the workforce development needs of the public safety industry, enterprises and individuals. Development of new Public Safety Training Package products and aligning with the drivers for change ensures that all national legislative requirements, public safety doctrine and policy, and industry best practice meets the workforce development needs of Australian public safety agencies, industry, enterprises and individuals. C. INDUSTRY SUPPORT FOR CHANGE Stakeholder Consultation Key individual and group stakeholders who were consulted, or provided information in the development of this Case for Change over the period of September 2016 to May 2017 will be included within Attachment B. The information contained within this Case for Change will be made available to the public, industry stakeholders and State Training Authorities for comment and feedback through the Australian Industry Standards website and registered stakeholder communications for a period of not less than ten (10) working days. Overview of the issues identified Fire sector The National Burning Project has been jointly commissioned by the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC) and the Forest Fire Management Group (FFMG), a sub-group of the Forestry and Forest Products Committee established under the commonwealth Agriculture Senior Officials Committee and Agriculture Ministers Forum. AFAC and FFMG member agencies established the National Burning Project in 2011, providing initial seed funding and subsequently 1 AFAC, Strategic Directions for Fire and Emergency Services in Australia and New Zealand 2017–2021 (2016) 2 AGD/AFAC National Statement of Capability for Fire and Emergency Services (2017) 3 receiving additional funding from the National Bushfire Mitigation Fund in 2014 to support the delivery of outcomes. The objective of the National Burning Project is to develop a national approach to the management of prescribed burning to reduce bushfire risk to the Australian and New Zealand communities. The intended national approach is at a landscape scale and balances operational, environmental, economic and community health risks. The five (5) prescribed burning units of competency are part of the National Burning Project. The units are part of the strategy for embedding into training the National guidelines for prescribed burning operations, and the risk management and review framework for prescribed burning risks associated with fuel hazards. Training Package products proposed to be reviewed and developed as a result of fire sector research, and changing skill needs including: • • • • • • Five existing units of competency are to be reviewed and developed to incorporate enhanced risk management skills and knowledge, and to reflect the growing complexity in this field. This includes: o PUAFIR213 Assist with prescribed burning o PUAFIR412 Conduct simple prescribed burns o PUAFIR413 Develop simple prescribed burn plans o PUAFIR511 Conduct complex prescribed burns o PUAFIR513 Develop complex prescribed burn plans One existing unit of competency to be reviewed to ensure that assessment requirements are clear and consistent with industry benchmarks o Puafir303b suppress wildfire One new unit of competency to be developed to address fire prediction modelling requirements for a level three wildfire. This unit develops outcomes contained within puafir512 develop and analyse the behaviour and suppression options for a level two wildfire: o Puafir001x develop and analyse the behaviour and suppression options for a level three wildfire One new unit of competency is required to address the role of an incendiary operations supervisor. This role is important in guiding activities associated with aerial ignition and construction of lighting patterns from aircraft: o Puafir002x supervise incendiary operations in support of prescribed burns Two new units of competency are to be developed to address emerging and complex hazards within the urban environment: o Puafir003x respond to fire and hazardous material incidents within enclosed spaces o Puafir004x respond to incidents in major hazard facilities Seven new skill sets are needed for each key role in prescribed burning to address the high-risk nature of the work, and reflect outcomes of the national burning project. Proposed roles to be addressed include: o Burn crew member o Burn crew leader o Burn sector commander o Burn operations officer (simple burns) o Burn operations officer (complex burns) o Burn planner (simple burns) 4 o Burn planner (complex burns) Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System (AIIMS) The Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System (AIIMS) is the nationally recognised system of incident management for the nation's fire and emergency service agencies. It describes organisational principles and structure used to manage bushfires and other large emergencies (e.g. floods, storms, cyclones etc.) utilizing the all agencies approach. Incident management units of competency related to incident control, operations, planning, logistics and safety are all aligned to the AIIMS doctrine. The 2017 Edition of AIIMS has been revised and endorsed for use by public safety agencies with effect May 2017, necessitating a requirement to reviewing existing and develop new units of competency to ensure alignment with revised doctrine. The following units of competency and skill sets are proposed for review and development as result of changed national incident management policy and doctrinal requirements: • • • • • • • One new unit of competency to be developed to address the requirement of managing the intelligence function within Incident Management Teams (IMT): o PUAOPE028X Manage the intelligence function One new unit of competency to be developed to address the requirement of managing the public information function. It is proposed the unit will supersede the currently endorsed PUAOPE021A Manage information function at an incident: o PUAOPE029X Manage the public information function One new unit of competency to be developed to address the requirements of managing finance at an incident. This unit proposes to address the skill needs of appropriately trained finance personnel, and enhancing the understanding of the role of the Finance function within the IMT management structure, and the expectations of individuals performing the role of Finance Officer within an IMT: o PUAOPE030X Manage finance at an incident One new unit of competency to be developed to address the requirements of managing investigations at an incident. This unit proposes to address the role of an investigator if an investigation function is required within the IMT management structure: o PUAOPE031X Manage investigations at an incident One new unit of competency to be developed to address the requirement of supervising the design and production of maps within a public safety or emergency management context. It is anticipated that this skill will be applied by individuals performing the Intelligence function within an IMT: o PUAOPE032X Supervise the design and production of maps One new unit of competency to be developed to address the leadership skills required to lead a large Section or Unit at level 2 and 3 incidents. It focuses on leading incident management personnel in time critical, complex and dynamic situations, and reinforces operational leadership concepts such as the common operating picture, situational awareness, anticipatory thinking, decision making and human factors: o PUATEA006X Lead a functional unit Six existing units of competency to be reviewed and developed to reflect changed requirements for disaster relief and recovery and introduction of the intelligence function: o PUAOPE012A Control a Level 1 incident 5 • • o PUAOPE018A Control a Level 2 incident o PUAOPE019A Control a Level 3 incident o PUAOPE023A Manage operations for a Level 2 incident o PUAOPE024A Manage operations for a Level 3 incident o PUAOPE025A Manage planning for a Level 2 incident Three existing units of competency to be reviewed and developed to encapsulate strengthened AIIMS doctrinal requirements related to safety management skills and knowledge: o PUAFIR410A Provide safety advice at a rural/land management incident o PUAFIR411A Provide safety advice at an urban incident o PUAOPE026A Provide strategic safety advice at an incident 11 new skill sets to be developed to address Incident Management Team roles, including: o Incident Controller Level One skill set o Incident Controller Level Two skill set o Incident Controller Level Three skill set o Incident Management Planning skill set o Incident Management Operations skill set o Incident Management Intelligence skill set o Incident Management Investigation skill set o Incident Management Logistics skill set o Incident Management Finance skill set o Incident Management Public Information skill set o Incident Management Safety Officer skill set Emergency Communications Centre Operations In April 2013, the Commonwealth Attorney General’s Department requested the previous Public Safety Training Package developer respond to the requirement for National Standardised Requisite Qualifications for Triple Zero Call Takers (NSRQ), and review existing products that were contained within two Emergency Call Centre Operations qualifications. An industry review of the material was undertaken during 2013-14, and resulted in recommendations that have yet to be implemented. • Eleven (11) existing units of competency to be reviewed and developed to reflect recommendations arising from previous stakeholder reviews during 2013-14: o PUAECO001A Operate telephony systems o PUAECO002A Process emergency incident calls and enquiries o PUAECO003A Operate and control radio networks o PUAECO004A Operate computer aided dispatch system o PUAECO005A Dispatch resources from within an emergency communications centre o PUAECO006A Read and interpret maps o PUAECO007A Respond to and maintain monitored alarm systems o PUAECO008A Receive and action notification of uncontrolled hazardous materials situations o PUAECO009A Coordinate emergency communications centre operations o PUAECO010A Maintain standards of emergency service delivery o PUAECO011A Support logistics in the field National Construction Code (NCC) 2016 6 The National Construction Code (NCC) is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments developed to incorporate all on-site building and plumbing requirements into a single code. The NCC sets the minimum requirements for the design, construction and performance of buildings throughout Australia. NCC 2016 was adopted by the States and Territories on 1 May 2016. The NCC is a performance based code containing all Performance Requirements for the construction of buildings. It is built around a hierarchy of guidance and code compliance levels, with the Performance Requirements being the minimum level that buildings, building elements, and plumbing and drainage systems must meet. • Eleven (11) existing and two (2) new units of competency are to be reviewed and developed as a result of the implementation of the NCC: o PUAFIR005X New fire safety unit o PUAFIR006X New fire safety unit o PUAFIR206B Check installed fire safety systems o PUAFIR314B Utilise installed fire safety systems o PUAFIR403B Assess building plans o PUAFIR404B Inspect dangerous goods facilities o PUAFIR405B Collect, analyse and provide regulatory information o PUAFIR506B Conduct an assessment of a building's performance based design o PUAFIR507B Inspect building fire safety systems o PUAFIR508B Assess and evaluate a facility's fire/incident safety management systems in hazardous materials o PUAFIR510B Inspect for legislative compliance o PUAFIR514 Assess and evaluate a facility's fire and incident safety management systems o PUAOPE011B Inspect property and facilities Work Health and Safety Legislation The model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations set out detailed requirements to support the duties in the model WHS Act. For the model WHS Regulations (including amendments to the model WHS Regulations) to have effect in a jurisdiction, the Regulations or amendments must be made in that jurisdiction. The current version of the model WHS Regulations, dated 28 November 2016, incorporates all amendments made since 2011. Fire, Community Safety, Emergency Risk Management, and Occupational Health and Safety units of competency have been designed to address a range of regulatory requirements, including hazardous material handling, incident safety, and organisational safety management systems. • Nine (9) existing units of competency are to be reviewed and developed to ensure consistency and alignment with the model WHS Regulations and emergency risk management best practices, including: o PUACOM011B Develop community awareness networks o PUAEMR022 Establish context for emergency risk assessment o PUAFIR308B Employ personal protection at a hazardous materials incident o PUAFIR316 Identify, detect and monitor hazardous materials at an incident o PUAFIR320 Render hazardous materials incidents safe o PUAOHS001C Follow defined occupational health and safety policies and procedures 7 o o o PUAOHS002B Maintain safety at an incident scene PUAOHS003B Implement and monitor the organisation's occupational health and safety policies, procedures and programs PUAOHS004B Establish and maintain the occupational health and safety system Australian Standards Australian Standards are documents setting out specifications, procedures and guidelines. They are designed to ensure products, services and systems are safe, reliable and consistent. They are based on industrial, scientific and consumer experience and are regularly reviewed to ensure they keep pace with new technologies. Australian Standard AS 3745-2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities outlines the minimum requirements for the establishment, validation and implementation of an emergency plan for a facility to provide for the safety of occupants of that facility and its visitors leading up to, and during an evacuation. Workplace Emergency Response units of competency have been designed to address the requirements of the Australian Standard. • Eleven (11) existing and two (2) new units of competency to be reviewed and developed as a result of updates to Australian Standard AS 3745-2010: o PUAWER001B Identify, prevent and report potential workplace emergency situations o PUAWER002B Ensure workplace emergency prevention procedures, systems and processes are implemented o PUAWER003B Manage and monitor workplace emergency procedures, equipment and other resources o PUAWER004B Respond to workplace emergencies o PUAWER005B Operate as part of an emergency control organisation o PUAWER006B Lead an emergency control organisation o PUAWER007B Manage an emergency control organisation o PUAWER008B Confine small workplace emergencies o PUAWER009B Participate as a member of a workplace emergency initial response team o PUAWER010B Lead a workplace emergency initial response team o PUAWER011B Manage workplace emergency initial response teams o PUAWER012X New workplace emergency response unit o PUAWER013X New workplace emergency response unit Industry skill needs The Attorney General’s Department through the former Australian Emergency Management Institute (AEMI) developed an accredited course in 2014 that focused on providing senior public safety leaders with the effective skills and knowledge to display leadership during crisis and disaster responses. This course is owned by the Australian Government, through the Attorney General's Department, Emergency Management Australia. The department has proposed that the accredited course 10518NAT Graduate Diploma of Crisis Leadership be transitioned to the Standards for Training Packages, and be included within a future release of the PUA Public Safety Training Package as a new AQF8 qualification focused on Crisis Leadership. Graduates at this level will apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy, well-developed judgement, adaptability and 8 responsibility as a practitioner or learner within emergency management, public safety and senior crisis leadership roles, and subsequently enhancing state and federal disaster resilience capabilities. • One (1) new qualification and seven (7) new units of competency are proposed for development: o PUA8XXXX Graduate Diploma of Crisis Leadership o PUATEA007X Define the crisis context o PUATEA008X Recognise personal effectiveness in a crisis o PUATEA009X Support communities for crisis o PUATEA010X Lead in a crisis o PUATEA011X Deliver value in crisis o PUATEA012X Lead and manage programs that develop resilience o PUATEA013X Evaluate societal threats, uncertainty and surprise Issues and sensitivities There are no residual issues identified by the Public Safety IRC that have not been addressed within this Case for Change. Feedback was received during the consultation period that expressed support for the proposed Case for Change, with no dissenting views raised to the Public Safety IRC for consideration. D. IMPACTS OF CHANGE Public Safety Workforce Products proposed for review and development will be included within the broader scope of Public Safety Training Package transition activity through 2017-18, and will address the issues identified through the drivers for change. Identification of benefits of change Public safety stakeholder consultation to date has identified that the proposed changes to Public Safety Training Package products will result in the following benefits to the public safety industry: • • • • • • Implementing changed skill requirements identified through industry research related to the National Guidelines for Prescribed Burning Operations, including enhancements to wildfire behaviour analysis, and fire and hazardous material incident response Aligning Training Package products with changed policy and doctrinal requirements of the Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System (AIIMS-4) 2017 Edition Implementing National Standardised Requisite Qualifications for Triple Zero Call Takers (NSRQ) as requested by the Commonwealth Attorney Generals Department Aligning Training Package products with compliance requirements of the National Construction Code Aligning Training Package products with revised industry requirements through implementation of model Work Health and Safety Regulations Aligning Training Package products with revised industry requirements of Australian Standard AS 3745-2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities 9 • Implementing an identified industry skills need for operational supervision, operational leadership, and crisis leadership skills within incident management teams, disaster recovery and emergency management contexts Identification of risks of not implementing proposed change Public safety skills are applied in complex and regulated environments, with varying levels of state, territory and national compliance and oversight applied to routine and emergency operational environments. There is significant risk to public safety skills outcomes where Training Package products are not validated by industry, consequently it is necessary to ensure that the content and structure of proposed Training Package components meet industry needs and reflect accepted industry or enterprise practice. Proposed approach and estimated timeframes for undertaking development work Completion of all review and development work is proposed to be undertaken in conjunction with the transition of the PUA12 Public Safety Training Package over the period 2017-18. The Public Safety Industry Reference Committee intends to submit a PUA Public Safety Training Package Release 1.0 Case for Endorsement with supporting material for submission to the AISC before June 2018. E. IMPLEMENTING THE COAG INDUSTRY AND SKILLS COUNCIL (CISC) REFORMS FOR TRAINING PACKAGES This Case for Change addresses the COAG Industry and Skills Council suite of reforms to the Training Package system in response to the Review of Training Packages and Accredited Courses in the following manner: • • • • • Removing obsolete and superfluous qualifications from the training system to make it easier for consumers to find the training relevant to their needs. o This Case for Change does not propose the removal of any obsolete or superfluous Training Package products. Making more information available about industry’s expectations of training delivery to training providers to improve their delivery and to consumers to enable them to make more informed course choices. o Training delivery information will be provided within the supporting Companion Volume Implementation Guide. Ensuring the training system better supports individuals to move easily from one related occupation to another. o The proposed new products provide improved opportunities for individuals operating within public safety sectors to transfer acquired skills and knowledge into allied public safety operating environments. Improving the efficiency of the training system by creating units that can be owned and used by multiple industry sectors and housing these units in a ‘work and participation bank’. o This Case for Change does not propose the development of products that may be considered suitable for use outside the scope of the public safety industry. Fostering greater recognition of skill sets. o This Case for Change proposes new skill sets to allow individuals to develop a range of additional job skills at various Public Safety qualification levels 10 • Ensuring that accredited courses ‘fill the gap’ in Training Packages and provide for training courses to be developed as quickly as industry needs them and support niche skill needs. o This Case for Change proposes the development of an existing accredited course to be utilised within a broader range of contexts through inclusion within the nationally endorsed Public Safety Training Package Industry Reference Committee Signoff This Case for Change was agreed to by the Public Safety IRC: Public Safety Mark Burgess May 2017 IRC Chair 11 TRAINING PACKAGE PRODUCTS Australian Industry Standards Contact details: Chief Operating Officer, Australian Industry Standards Date submitted: Pending Develop Year Training Package Code Training Package Name Product Code Title Comments Review Status Change required DEVELOP – 21 NEW UNITS OF COMPETENCY 1 2017-18 PUA Public Safety Unit of competency PUAFIR001X Develop and analyse the behaviour and suppression options for a Level Three wildfire New product to support fire prediction modelling for a Level 3 wildfire.
