3. Purpose of Combatant Team Leadership
Most mining ESO`s are cert III qualified: This level covers the competency required to work
as a member of a team under limited supervision.
Cert IV in supervision is the first level designed to manage a team or crew at an incident. Of
the ESO`s that do have Cert IV in Supervision very few have the resources or processes to
maintain these skills on site and most (but not all) obtained the qualification through
recognition of prior learning rather personal studies..
Risk and Emergency has this `Combatant Team Leadership` development program to help
ESO`s manage an incident specific to their environment.
This purpose of this document is to outline identified processes and phased steps for:
Emergency Response crews – Leadership program
For example; training in the Leadership and applying standard operating procedure
(SOP) against all of the risk and hazards encountered on site
It also presents recommendations for the development of tactical emergency response
capability and suggestions to ensure the maintenance of a competent capability.
To provide a systematic leadership approach to the determination of;
1) The ESO & ERT or Fire Teams requirements and needs of as an enterprise
2) The ESO & ERT or Fire Teams capability of that enterprise
3) also regulatory and industry requirements, along with SOP best practises
These guidelines herein provide a process to determine the levels of training support and
resources required to maintain an effective response capability.
Once determined, the responsibility to provide these support and resource requirements are
at the discretion of the client.
At Risk & Emergency our consultants have had extensive commercial consulting experiences in the corporate
sector, which comes after having held key government positions, which has entailed international, national
and state emergency management arrangements.
We have extensive experience with the Resource industry, Fire Services, Management, Recruitment,
Processes, Systems and Training Courses of all levels and most industries.
