ABOUT THIS COURSE

Manage an Emergency Control Organisation delivers PUAFER007 — the senior management qualification for ECO managers, facility managers and Emergency Planning Committee members responsible for the strategic management of an ECO across a facility or organisation.

This 2-day course covers the strategic side of emergency management — building the ECO, scheduling and overseeing training, planning drills, coordinating with the Emergency Planning Committee and driving continuous improvement of emergency capability across the facility.

PUAFER006 (Chief Warden) is strongly recommended as a foundation. This course is for those who manage the ECO rather than lead it during incidents — though many roles combine both. It is the highest-level facility emergency management qualification under AS 3745-2010.
