Emergency Management

Library Overview

The Emergency Management Course Library provides practical, non-accredited micro-learning to support safe, calm, and coordinated responses to incidents and emergency situations in the workplace.
Courses are informed by recognised Australian best practice in work health and safety (WHS), emergency preparedness, and risk management, including guidance from Safe Work Australia, state and territory WHS regulators, and relevant emergency management frameworks.
This library focuses on early recognition, safe first actions, communication, and escalation — helping workers respond effectively while remaining within their role, training, and organisational procedures.
