Lesson 1Emergency organisation and command structure: on-site and incident command interfacesOutlines the emergency team setup, roles, and command flow, including on-site posts and links to outside incident command, ensuring clear authority, control range, and decision paths.
Emergency roles and responsibilitiesOn-site command post setup and toolsInterface with external incident commandSuccession and delegation of authorityTraining and competency requirementsLesson 2Evacuation strategy and personnel accounting: muster points, roll-call, assembly area managementSets out evacuation plans, paths, and muster spots, plus ways to count people, roll-call steps, and managing assembly areas to make sure everyone is safely out and checked.
Evacuation triggers and decision criteriaPrimary and alternate escape routesMuster point layout and signageRoll-call and headcount techniquesManaging vulnerable or disabled personsLesson 3Definitions, abbreviations, and reference documents (MSDS/SDS, P&IDs, site maps)Shows how definitions, short forms, and reference papers make a clear, steady POI, using MSDS/SDS, P&IDs, and site maps to guide responders, planners, and checkers in prep and real events.
Standard POI terms and abbreviationsUse of MSDS and SDS in emergenciesReading and applying P&ID diagramsSite maps, access routes, and hazardsReference document control and updatesLesson 4Scope, objectives, applicability, and legal context of the POIMakes clear the POI’s range, goals, and who it applies to, tying them to laws, rules, company standards, and risk checks, defining covered facilities, activities, and staff.
