in damage or injury.
Dangerous Electrical The Electrical Safety Act QLD 2002 defines a Dangerous Electrical Event as:
Event
• whenever a person, for any reason, is electrically unsafe around high voltage
electrical equipment, even if the person does not receive an electric shock or
injury.
• significant property damage caused by electricity or something originating from
electricity (e.g., electrical fire).
• unlicensed electrical work.
• unsafe electrical work.
• unsafe electrical equipment or electrical equipment that does not have electrical
equipment safety system approval markings.
Emergency Any unplanned and unwanted event generated internally or externally, which has caused
or has the potential to cause significant harm to people, public or significant damage to
product, property, plant, equipment, the environment and / or the business and requires
an immediate response.
Emergency Assembly A place of safety outside of the building where persons evacuating the building, or the part
Point are expected to assemble under the building’s Emergency Preparedness and Response
Plan. This area is established to check that persons are accounted for (roll call), brief
persons evacuated on future action and to prevent re-entry.
Emergency Control A structured organization of persons to organize and supervise the safe movement of
Organization (ECO) personnel from the location in an emergency.
Emergency A document outlining the general procedures for preparing for potential emergency events
Preparedness and and initiating an emergency response.
Response Plan (EPARP)
Emergency Services The public organisations that respond to and deal with emergencies when they occur (i.e.
ambulance service, the police, and the fire brigade).
Evacuation Plan A plan developed and prominently displayed throughout the location indicating the
access/egress, and the main and alternative routes to the Emergency Assembly Point in
the event of an evacuation. The plan will also indicate the locations of the First Aid
Facilities and Fire Fighting Equipment.
Evacuation Route The designated route to the final place of safety. To always be maintained clear.
First Aid Officer The person responsible for attending to the medical needs of the injured person.
Incident An unplanned event related to a person resulting in or potential for injury/ill health or
other loss.
Rehabilitation The action of restoring someone to health or normal life through training and therapy
following injury or illness.
