• Live Play – Individuals will be assessed within a simulated live play exercise, participating within the role of Site Incident Controller, Site Main Controller or Crisis Manager. They will be assessed on various human factor elements of incident management, including tasking and coordination, effective communications and information sharing. Individuals will also be expected to show a clear understanding of operator emergency response procedures, scenario specific emergency response plans, emergency services and regulators.
