ABOUT THIS COURSE

RIIERR301E Respond to work site incidents is the supervisor-level incident response unit — the competency for the person who takes initial command when something happens, before formal emergency response or external services arrive.

The unit covers the early-minutes decisions that shape every incident: securing the scene, accounting for everyone, providing or coordinating first aid, communicating clearly up and down the line, and preserving evidence for the investigation that will follow.

It is widely required for supervisors, leading hands and shift coordinators on mining, civil and infrastructure sites — the people who, by position rather than by training, are usually first on scene.

What You Will Learn

Course Content

This course covers the following knowledge and practical skills:

  • Securing the scene — exclusion zones, traffic, plant isolation
  • Personnel accountability — confirming who is and is not affected
  • Coordinating immediate first aid response
  • Communication up the line — radio, escalation, situation reports
  • Communication across the site — alerting adjacent crews
  • Communication out — emergency services, family liaison protocols
  • Working with the site emergency response team on arrival
  • Preserving evidence for the investigation
  • Witness identification and initial statements
  • Site lockdown and resumption decisions
  • Personal welfare — managing your own response and that of the crew
  • The interface between incident response and the formal investigation
  • Debriefing the immediate response team
