The discipline of emergency management within industry has had, for many reasons and for many years, an inconsistent approach resulting in diverse capabilities and capacity across the sector.
To help tackle these inconsistencies, Nuffield Group has developed an Integrated Emergency Management and Recovery (IEMR) program focused on building industry emergency management capability and capacity through a set of collaborative tools.
By adopting this approach IEMR builds Emergency Management and Recovery capability across industries and businesses by developing a collective doctrine; creating collaboration; building networks and coordinating access to expert resources.
IEMR provides a platform that houses a library of planning, response and recovery documents that can be accessed and managed to ensure consistency and compliance in Industry Emergency Management. What’s unique about this is its ability to promote sharing in a structured and controlled manner; to assist ongoing learning and growth through a process that is relevant and focused.
IEMR has been structured on the Emergency Management continuum of before, during and after and is directly connected to industry capability, capacity and business continuity - it’s a great platform to enhance sector-wide collaboration.
The IEMR program is also supported by a Strategic Response Team (SRT) dedicated to providing businesses and industry with critical services in the before, during and after phases of an incident, emergency or event.
The SRT provides support and builds capability through four program elements:
- Scenario Based Planning
- Mentoring / Coaching
- Operational Planning
- Operational Support
I’ve been working with Nuffield Group in an advisory capacity through Innovation Pro to develop and finalise the program, which aims to build capability and capacity and encourage collaboration with business and industry aim to improve resilience.
Industry has to be part of any major emergency management response and recovery - as well as having the skills, knowledge and support to run their own.

4 年Hi Craig, when you say ‘industry’ are you referring to oil and gas (pic) or industry in general?

4 年Another issue regarding Emergency Management is the fact that in Australia it is not recognized as a skill competency. Position descriptions involving any aspect of emergency management do not recognise tertiary qualifications in EM as essential requirements. Further challenging the industry sector is that over the past five years in the vocational area, over 680 qualifications have been awarded with over 75% awarded by totally by the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Craig, how do we build wider knowledge, skill, competency capacity and capability within the sector? What does it take to drive change? How does IEMR integrate into professional development programs where EM is valued and we shift the balance from 75% RPL to 75% integrated professional development learning. We lost Mt Macedon, and there is no educational institution or RTO who are willing to or have been able to step and replicate anything near what we had at Macedon. Is this the time when organisations like Nuffield Group could potentially fill a void?
