This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to confine small emergencies in a facility, for occupants required to have first-attack firefighting skills. It includes preparing for emergency situations, identifying and assessing an emergency, safely confining it, using initial response equipment, and reporting on the facility's emergency response afterward.
​
Small emergencies in this context include incidents such as a small fire that can be controlled with a fire extinguisher, a chemical spill that can be managed using facility PPE and a spill kit, or a vehicle incident with no significant injury or damage.
