Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to support an organisation’s response to a range of disruptive events. This includes identifying the nature and scope of a disruptive event and its impact, supporting the implementation of resources and training to minimise disruption, and evaluating the response.
The unit covers supporting responses to an ‘organisational disruption’ characterised as a significant disturbance to the operations of an organisation or work area caused by a ‘disruptive event’. Disruptive events may be internal or external to the organisation and may or may not be foreseeable. These events impact on a range of industries and settings and include public health risks (such as epidemics and pandemics), natural disasters (such as floods and bushfires), public inquiries and litigation.
The unit applies to individuals who provide support within an organisation or a team in providing a response to disruptive events in an organisation.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
