Release

Comments

This unit was released in CSC Correctional Services Training Package release 1.0 and meets the Standards for Training Packages.

This unit supersedes and is equivalent to CSCSAS502A Determine response to security risks.

Application

This unit describes the skills required to assess incidents and determine response options.

This unit applies to those working an institutional setting. Adaptation of the language will be necessary to reflect the practices of non-institutional settings and work sites. Customisation should occur through the introduction of specific organisation security equipment, functions and procedures.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to security, risk management and response.

Those undertaking this unit work autonomously drawing upon support from a broad range of source. The role requires moderately sophisticated research, communication and evaluation skills.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
