1. Memorandum of Understanding
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between
the NSW Fire Brigades (NSWFB) and the Department of Juvenile Justice.
Under the MOU the Department of Juvenile Justice will notify
the NSWFB of Youth Justice Conferences for fire-related offences and the NSWFB
will provide a representative to attend each such conference whenever possible.
A copy of the MOU is available on the Community Risk section
of the Intranet.
2. Attendance at Youth Justice
Conferences
Attendance at Department of Juvenile Justice Youth Justice
Conferences by NSWFB firefighters is voluntary.
Invitations to attend Youth Justice Conferences will be sent
to the NSWFB Intervention and Fire Awareness Program (IFAP) Coordinator who
will liaise with Zone Commanders and Operational Commanders to coordinate
attendances.
Participation in the Conferences will be first offered to permanent
firefighters who attended the incident.
If no permanent firefighters who attended the incident can participate,
the offer will be extended to retained firefighters who attended the incident. If no permanent or retained firefighters who
attended the incident can participate, permanent firefighters attached to the
station that attended the incident will be invited to participate. If they
decline, retained firefighters attached to the station that attended the
incident will be invited to participate.
If the Conference is held at a location remote from where
the incident occurred, firefighters attached to stations in the immediate area
will be invited to participate in accordance with the above protocol.
NSWFB firefighters receiving requests direct from the
Department of Juvenile Justice to attend a Youth Justice Conference should
forward the request to the IFAP Coordinator for action.
3. Guidelines
A set of guidelines on Youth Justice Conferences has been
produced to reflect the MOU and provide information to assist NSWFB
firefighters. They are available on the

This instruction rescinds In Orders 2006/1, Overt video
surveillance policy.
1. Scope and application
This policy applies to the use of overt video surveillance
by the NSWFB in NSWFB workplaces.
Overt video surveillance is the use of video surveillance in
the workplace where:
·
employees have been notified in writing at a reasonable
period of time before the cameras are used
·
the cameras, or camera casings or other equipment that
would generally indicate the presence of a camera, are clearly visible to a
person in the area which is under surveillance, and
·
there are signs which are visible to both employees and
visitors which notify them that they may be under surveillance in an area.
Note: Covert video surveillance is not covered
by this policy. Covert video
surveillance is surveillance that does not meet the above conditions. Under the Workplace Surveillance Act
2005, the NSWFB can only use covert video surveillance if:
·
it is only for the purpose of establishing whether or
not the employee is involved in any unlawful activity while at work, and
·
it is authorised by a covert video surveillance
authority issued by a magistrate.
2. Consultation
The NSWFB will consult with employees and/or their
representatives before installing overt video surveillance equipment.
This consultative process will give individual employees the
opportunity to comment on:
·
the purposes for the installation of video surveillance
equipment
·
the nature and capacities of the equipment being
installed
·
the location of cameras
·
the hours in which cameras will be operated
·
the circumstances in which video recordings will be
used
·
the mechanisms for ongoing consultation on the use of
video surveillance equipment, and
·
how any disputes arising from the use of video
surveillance will be settled.
3. Notification
At least 14 days before the use of overt video surveillance,
the NSWFB will:
·
display written notices and a copy of this policy on
noticeboards in the affected workplaces, and
·
publish notification in In Orders.
The notification will include:
·
the area/s in which the surveillance will be conducted
·
the specific purpose of the surveillance, and
·
the position responsible for the conduct of the
surveillance.
4. Signs
On NSWFB premises where overt video surveillance equipment
is installed, the NSWFB will display signs informing employees and members of
the public that the area is under video surveillance.
5. Ethical use of overt video
surveillance
5.1 The NSWFB will not install overt video
surveillance cameras in toilets, showers, change rooms or locker rooms in NSWFB
workplaces.
5.2 Cameras will not be used to zoom in on
individuals or pry on a person’s activities without cause.
5.3 Overt video surveillance will not be used
to monitor work performance.
5.4 The NSWFB will not use overt video
surveillance to monitor NSWFB employees for evidence of minor misdemeanours.
5.5 However, overt video surveillance
recordings may be used as evidence in disciplinary or legal proceedings if:
·
the employee who is subject to the complaint has
reviewed and given consent to the use of the recordings, or
·
an officer conducting a preliminary or formal inquiry
under the Fire Brigades (General) Regulation 2003 or inquiry under the Public
Sector Employment and Management Act 2002 requires a copy of the recording
for the purposes of the inquiry, or
·
recordings are subpoenaed,
on the condition that a copy of
the recording of the incident will be made available to the employee or their
authorised representative within fourteen days of the warning, commencement of
disciplinary proceedings or legal action.
5.6 In accordance with section 3 above,
notifications of overt video surveillance will include the specific purpose of
the surveillance. Use for purposes
other than the notified purpose or section 5.5 above is unauthorised use.
5.6 Action will be taken against anyone
involved in unauthorised use of video surveillance equipment or
recordings. Complaints of unauthorised
use of video surveillance equipment or recordings should be sent to the
Professional Standards and Conduct Officer.
6. Access to video recordings
Employees are entitled to access videos recordings of their
actions in the workplace. With the
consent of the individual concerned and the approval of the Commissioner,
recordings may also be provided to the individual’s representative or agent.
The following positions are authorised to access recordings:
·
the Commissioner
·
Deputy Commissioners
·
the Director or Regional Commander responsible for the
area under surveillance, and
·
the Senior Legal Officer.
Other staff or external parties who need to access
recordings may do so on request to one of these authorised positions, subject
to the requirements of section 18 of the Workplace Surveillance Act 2005,
which states that the recordings are not to be used or disclosed unless the use
or disclosure is:
(a) use or disclosure for a legitimate
purpose related to the employment of employees of the employer or the
legitimate business activities of functions of the employer, or
(b) disclosure to a member or officer of a
law enforcement agency for use in connection with the detection, investigation
or prosecution of an offence, or
(c) use or disclosure for a purpose that is
directly or indirectly related to the taking of civil or criminal proceedings,
or
(d) use or disclosure that is reasonably
believed to be necessary to avert an imminent threat of serious violence to
persons or of substantial damage to property.
Internal requests for access to recordings should be
submitted to the position responsible for the video surveillance concerned.
External requests for access to recordings should be made in writing to the
Senior Legal Officer.
7. Security of recordings
Recordings are classified at a minimum as
NSWFB-In-Confidence and may have a higher classification. Recordings must be kept secure in accordance
with In Orders 2003/26, Information security policy.
Before a recording is disclosed to a party external to the
NSWFB, that party must give a written undertaking to maintain the security of
the information.
Records must be kept of who has accessed recordings and the
purpose of the access.
8. Retention of recordings
Recordings will be kept for a period of time specified in
the notification in In Orders on that type of surveillance.
After the specified period of time has expired, the
recordings will be erased or securely destroyed, unless they have been
identified as evidence relating to a disciplinary proceeding or legal action.
9. Issues
Whenever possible, issues relating to overt video
surveillance should be resolved directly with the position responsible for the
video surveillance concerned or the chain of command above that position.
Staff who are concerned about privacy issues may contact the
Privacy Contact Officer, Anne Pickles, on (02) 9265 2971 or anne.pickles@fire.nsw.gov.au for
advice. Privacy complaints should be

1. Risk assessment form
A risk
assessment form has been developed to assist fire, police and ambulance
officers to determine the level of risk at a white powder or suspicious package
incidents.
Accurate risk assessment allows agencies to respond
appropriate resources and determine the appropriate level of decontamination
for responders and members of the public.
The form was jointly developed by the NSW Fire Brigades, NSW
Police and the Ambulance Service of NSW.
It is aligned to a national standard and is endorsed by the NSW State
Chemical, Biological and Radiological Committee.
2. When to use the form
The form is to be used by the NSWFB Incident Controller and
the NSW Police Site Controller to carry out a joint risk assessment and
determine an appropriate course of action.
The NSW Ambulance Service does not usually respond to these
incidents unless required by the level of risk.
The form may also be used by hospital staff to assess the
situation when people self present.
3. Risk ratings
The NSW Police use a colour coding for risk ratings. The NSWFB uses descriptive terms to ensure
that the risk ratings are not confused with colour codes used in NSWFB alarm
response protocols. The two systems are
shown below:
|
NSW Fire Brigades
|
NSW Police
|
|
Low
|
Green
|
|
Medium
|
Blue
|
|
High
|

4. Supply
All stations will soon receive (by post) two A4
double-sided, laminated risk assessment forms. A copy is also available on the Intranet.
A form must be placed on the primary response appliance at
the station.
Additional or replacement copies are available through ESCAT
under Corporate Stationery, Miscellaneous Printed Matter, Poster, Printed, Cat

1. Duty of care
The Incident Controller at an incident or training exercise
has a duty of care under occupational health and safety legislation to ensure
that everyone who enters the incident site wears the appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE).
When control of an incident is vested in the NSWFB, this
duty of care extends to personnel from other agencies and members of the
public. In Orders 2001/19, Use of
non-operational personnel at emergency incidents, In Orders 2002/13, Arrival
of non-operational personnel at emergency incidents, and In Orders 2001/20,
Guidelines for administrative and technical support staff attending
incidents give guidelines for ensuring safety in this situation.
2. PPE entry control sign
At an incident or training exercise, the Incident Controller
or Operations Officer will normally determine the appropriate level of PPE
depending on the conditions at the site.
To ensure that everyone who enters the incident site is aware of the PPE
requirements, a PPE entry control sign is now available for use. Personnel
tasked with entry control can simply tick the appropriate PPE required on the
sign by using a china-graph pencil.
The sign must be prominently displayed at the entry control
point at incidents and training exercises where entry control has been
established.
Note: Wherever possible, clearly defined entry
point/s should established be to minimise the risk of unsafe or unauthorised
access to an incident site.
3. Supply
All stations will shortly receive (by post) two A3
single-sided, laminated signs.
The signs must be placed on the primary response appliance
at the station.
Additional or replacement copies are available through ESCAT
under Corporate Stationery, Miscellaneous Printed Matter, Poster, Printed, Cat

interesting?
If there is any information about the smoke alarm or its
operation that you think should be recorded but there isn’t a code for it, put
the additional information in the Description of Incident section of the AIRS
report. At present there is no code to record whether a smoke alarm was a
photoelectric or ionisation type detector. If it is known what type of detector
was at the incident please record this in the Description of Incident section.
If it is not known what type of detector it was please record the brand and
model type if possible.
Note: Most ionisation detectors can be identified
by the radioactive symbol on the unit.

_______________________
This instruction rescinds In Orders 2001/19, Fuel and oil
contract.
A new government fuel and oil contract will be introduced on
1 July 2006. Mobil and Caltex are the
only companies on the new NSW Government Fuel and Oil Contract.
Where possible, in accordance with the contract and to
minimise costs, all stations/sections are to purchase fuel from the contracted
suppliers: Caltex or Mobil.
However, as there are locations where Caltex and Mobil do
not have depots, Shell and BP cards may still be used. After 30 June 2006, when
using BP or Shell cards, fuel purchases will be charged at the displayed bowser
price.
Under government contract arrangements, when fuel is
purchased from a contracted fuel company the price shown on the docket is not
the price invoiced. The subsequent
invoice to the NSWFB is revised to reflect the current contract price. This
usually results in a saving of approximately 5% per litre.
Stations that do not require Shell or BP cards are to return
these to the Fleet Management Unit for cancellation. Stations requiring Mobil
or Caltex cards are to contact the Fleet Management Unit.
