This instruction details specific security procedures necessary for the protection of NSWFB personnel and infrastructure and for the maintenance of NSWFB capability to respond to emergency incidents while supporting social and economic wellbeing, security and defence.

The Federal Attorney General’s Department, acting on intelligence obtained from Australian and overseas intelligence organisations, assigns levels of security alert. In accordance with the National Counter-Terrorism Plan, the NSWFB must implement procedures for each level of alert.

2. Security alert levels

There are four levels of security alert, as shown in Table 1.

Security alert level	Definition
Low	Terrorist attack is not expected
Medium	Terrorist attack could occur
High	Terrorist attack is likely
Extreme	Terrorist attack is imminent or has occurred

Table 1 Security alert levels

Note: The NSWFB is always on low level security alert unless a higher level has been announced.

3. Low Level Security Alert - terrorist attack is not expected

3.1 All NSWFB personnel, contractors, consultants and visitors must have identification with them at all times while in a NSWFB workplace. Failure to produce identification when requested will be considered to be a breach of security and may result in the person’s removal.

3.2 All NSWFB commanders and supervisors must oversee the general security of NSWFB fixed and mobile infrastructure and assets by monitoring access by staff, contractors, consultants and visitors.

3.3 All personnel must immediately report any security breaches, suspicious or unusual packages, activity or phone calls in or around NSWFB infrastructure or at incidents to their immediate commander, supervisor or the Professional Standards and Conduct Officer. These officers or managers will contact NSW Police as appropriate.

3.4 Station Commanders must ensure that all staff under their supervision routinely review, and are familiar with, relevant Standard Operational Guidelines and Standing Orders.

3.5 The Assistant Director Operational Communications must undertake ongoing reviews of pre‑determined response protocols and notifications.

3.6 All Deputy Regional Commanders, Area, Zone and Operational Commanders and Country Inspectors must liaise with their relevant District Emergency Management Officers (DEMOs) and Local Emergency Management Officers (LEMOs) to ensure that contact details are up to date and that the NSWFB participates in multi-agency exercises run by the local and district Emergency Management Committees.

3.7 The Manager Operational Readiness must identify operational and liaison staff needed for Incident Management Teams (IMTs), the Major Incident Coordination Centre (MICC), the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC), the Police Operations Centre (POC), and the State Crisis Centre (SCC).

4. Medium Level Security Alert - terrorist attack could occur

4.1 The Director State Operations must ensure that all on duty NSWFB personnel are immediately advised by a broadcast message on email, faxstream and pagers that the security alert has been upgraded to Medium.

4.2 Commanders and supervisors must ensure that the Medium Level Security Alert procedures for which they are responsible are activated, that Low Level Security Alert procedures are all in place or being implemented and that this information is exchanged and disseminated during routine change of shift procedures.

4.3 Zone, Operational and Station Commanders must ensure that all staff under their supervision review and are re-acquainted with:

SOG 1 Incident control system

SOG 8.1 Bombs

SOGs 8.7 - 8.12 Terrorism

SOG 10.8 Biological hazards

SOG 10.9 Radioactive substances

SOG 10.15 CBR incidents

4.4 Station Commanders must review pre-incident plans for critical infrastructure and major hazard facilities.

4.5 The Director State Operations will establish close liaison with the NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Support and the State Emergency Operations Controller.

4.6 Commanders and supervisors must identify, then escort or restrict the access of (as appropriate), staff, contractors, consultants and visitors to all NSWFB fixed and mobile infrastructure.

4.7 The Fleet Operations Officer must maintain spare appliances ready for deployment and advise the Assistant Director Specialised Operations of the status of spare appliances on a daily basis.

4.8 The Manager Recruit Training must ensure that State Training College appliances are ready for deployment as a Strike Team with two hours notice.

4.9 Specialised State Operations sections must maintain a register of staff availability for USAR and CBR response to ensure that these capabilities are not compromised by shortages of qualified staff.

4.10 The Manager Operational Readiness must maintain a register of IMT, MICC and SEOC, POC and SCC liaison staff availability.

4.11 The Director State Operations will facilitate a test of the NSWFB’s Business Continuity Plan by simulating the failure of a component of NSWFB critical infrastructure. Any test must be preceded by at least five days notice to affected personnel.

5. High Level Security Alert - terrorist attack is likely

5.1 The Director State Operations must ensure that all on duty NSWFB personnel are immediately advised by a broadcast message on email, faxstream, and pagers that the security alert has been upgraded to High.

5.2 Commanders and supervisors must ensure that the High Level Security Alert procedures for which they are responsible are activated, that Medium Level Security Alert procedures are all in place or being implemented and that this information is exchanged and disseminated during routine change of shift procedures.

5.3 Access will be denied for non-essential visitors and non-essential vehicles to identified NSWFB critical infrastructure locations. This may require engagement of security personnel where physical barriers to access do not exist. At some locations, public parking adjacent to critical infrastructure may need to be restricted, in consultation with NSW Police and local government agencies.

5.4 The Manager Operational Readiness must establish a rostered NSWFB Liaison Officer at the POC.

5.5 The Manager Operational Readiness must place nominated MICC, SEOC, SCC staff and liaison officers on 24/7 availability with two hours notice to deploy.

5.8 Deputy Regional Commanders, Area and Zone Commanders must establish close liaison with relevant District Emergency Management Officers.

5.9 The Director State Operations, in consultation with Regional Commanders, must determine the status of drills, exercises and community education activities and ensure that any activities likely to lead to delayed response or security concerns are postponed.

6. Extreme level security alert - terrorist attack is imminent or has occurred

6.1 The Director State Operations must ensure that all on duty NSWFB personnel are immediately advised by a broadcast message on email, faxstream, and pagers that the security alert has been upgraded to Extreme.

6.2 All Commanders and supervisors must ensure that the Extreme Level Security Alert procedures for which they are responsible are activated, that High Level Security Alert procedures are all in place or being implemented and that this information is exchanged and disseminated during routine change of shift procedures.

6.3 All drills, exercises, and community education activities must be cancelled. Fire appliances must remain at stations unless dispatched or released for authorised, essential NSWFB business. When an appliance is away from station, one person must remain with it at all times to ensure security.

6.4 On-site security guards must be placed at NSWFB critical infrastructure sites on a 24/7 basis unless passive security measures are deemed to be sufficient.

6.5 Access to NSWFB critical infrastructure sites must be strictly restricted to essential personnel only.

6.6 Parking must be restricted at Alexandria, Katoomba, Newcastle and Wollongong ComCens to identified, authorised vehicles (after submitting to searches), and public street parking adjacent to the centres will be prohibited, in consultation with NSW Police and local government authorities.

6.7 Fire station doors must be kept closed, watchrooms of permanent stations must be staffed whenever the primary appliance is at the station, and strict security enforced. Access is for essential, authorised NSWFB business only.

6.8 Station Commanders at permanently staffed fire stations must ensure that keys are removed from appliances in engine bays and carried by appliance drivers at all times.

Awareness of cultural and religious protocols when visiting premises

1. Introduction

The NSW community includes a diverse range of cultures and religions. All cultures and religions have customs and protocols about people entering premises, eg whether headwear or footwear is removed or retained. In places of worship, there are often rituals or observances that people are expected to follow.

2. Policy

NSWFB staff should be aware of and sensitive to cultural and religious protocols when visiting premises. Without compromising operations, staff should observe protocols normally observed by the occupants of the premises, in accordance with the following guidelines.

3. Community activities

When carrying out community activities such as risk management programs, pre incident planning, education activities or similar exercises, cultural and religious protocols should be observed, provided that safety and the ability of crews to respond to incidents are not compromised.

If you are not sure what cultural or religious protocols may apply, ask the advice of a member of the community concerned, perhaps when making the appointment.

The NSWFB Cultural and Linguistic Diverse (CALD) Coordinator, David Weir, can also be consulted on 0408 228 740.

4. When attending incidents

When attending incidents, crews should be aware of cultural and religious issues, however crews must not allow cultural or religious issues to prevent:

· the investigation of the circumstances to which the NSWFB has been called

· the protection of life, property or the environment

· personnel wearing the correct personal protective equipment for the incident.

Employee Housing Manual

The New South Wales Fire Brigades and the New South Wales Fire Brigade Employees’ Union have agreed to vary the New South Wales Fire Brigades Employee Housing Manual and Clauses 30 and 47 “Rental of Premises” of the Crown Employees (NSW Fire Brigades Firefighting Staff) Award 2005 in order to enhance the entitlements for employees and to make vacancies in country NSW more attractive.

Application to vary this Award and a full review of the Employee Housing Manual will be made in the near future. In the interim, the following provisions will apply on an administrative basis from the beginning of the first pay period to commence on or after 24 February 2006.

1. Criteria for a standard leased property

The new criteria for a standard leased property are:

· four bedrooms

· lock up garage/carport/car space

· low maintenance building and garden/ground

· rental value assessed for the average house in the average area to which the employee is appointed.

2. Assessing the average rental

The criteria in point (1) above will apply to a house in the town to which the employee is appointed. The employee may make application to the Regional Commander for approval to reside at another location outside the town to which the employee is appointed. However, the rental average will still be assessed on the town to which the employee is appointed, and used for the purpose of determining what rental shall be charged.

3. Reduction to the Weekly Employee Contribution as set out in the Crown Employees (NSW Fire Brigades Firefighting Staff) Award 2005 as follows:

In Clause 30 – RENTAL OF PREMISES

30.2 Except as provided for in subclauses 30.3, 30.4 and 30.5, where an employee is required to and does occupy accommodation, the Department shall deduct from the rate of pay of the employee concerned an amount per week equal to 4% of the employee’s total weekly rate per week as prescribed in Tables 1.1 to 1.3, Rates of Pay, or 50% of the market rental of the accommodation, whichever is the lesser.

and In Clause 47 – RENTAL OF PREMISES

47.2 Except as provided for in subclause 47.4, where an Executive Officer is required to and does occupy accommodation, the Department shall deduct from the rate of pay of the Executive Officer an amount per week equal to 4% of the weekly equivalent of the Executive Officer’s annual salary as prescribed in Tables 1.1 to 1.3 of Part D, or 50% of the market rental of the accommodation, whichever is the lesser.

The new employee contributions will apply to all current tenants effective from the beginning of the first pay period to commence on or after 24 February 2006. If an employee voluntarily breaks any current leasing arrangements to relocate under these new entitlements, the employee will bear the costs of that relocation.

GENERAL

Clean Up Australia Day – NSWFB participation

Following the success of NSWFB participation in previous years, the Clean Up Australia (CUA) organisation has again asked for our assistance on Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday 5 March 2006.

The Commissioner has authorised NSWFB participation, on a voluntary basis, in community clean up activities on CUA Day. All NSWFB staff (on- and off-duty) are encouraged to take part in this worthwhile community initiative. It contributes to a safer, cleaner environment and demonstrates the NSWFB’s commitment to community and environmental protection.

Crews who will be on-duty during the day on Sunday 5 March (B Platoon) are encouraged to visit CUA at their website: www.cleanup.com.au to find an existing clean up site within their local (response) area or to register a new clean up site. A list of clean up sites will also be emailed to Zone Commanders. CUA can also be contacted on freecall 1800 CUA DAY (1800 282 329). Internal enquiries should be directed to the Coordinator, Corporate Risk Management.

Stations may also be approached directly for specialist advice or help on the day because we have advised CUA that the NSWFB is again prepared to assist.

By staying within station response areas and remaining available at all times by radio, response coverage will be maintained. Emergency response takes absolute priority over CUA activities, and appliances must be available at all times by radio.

In country areas, retained staff are encouraged to voluntarily participate in CUA under the auspices of the NSWFB. Retained staff will be covered by workers compensation provided entries are made in the Occurrence Book listing those staff participating. Permanent staff rostered on duty are covered by workers compensation. Staff who are not rostered on duty that day but still wish to participate on a personal basis are covered by either workers compensation or CUA public liability insurance.

Names of all participating stations should be provided to the Operational Commander (Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong) or Zone Commander (other areas), as certificates of participation will be issued.

Safety and protection

Staff should protect themselves from cuts, abrasions, infections, sunburn, etc, by wearing standard NSWFB protective clothing. It is also important to convey and maintain the NSWFB’s professional image.

Officers in charge must ensure that all staff are properly attired. As a minimum, personnel are required to wear:

· NSWFB work shirt

· Station drill pants

· NSWFB boots

· NSWFB baseball cap or hat

· protective gloves

· protective goggles (if required)

· sunscreen

· sunglasses (if required)

· reflective vest or bushfire jacket (in areas where there is any risk from traffic).

Note: Adequate water should be carried and drunk to prevent dehydration.

Particular care should be taken to avoid needlestick injuries. Sharps containers and tongs will be available if required from CUA authorities at a local level. Stations using rescue equipment, winches, etc, should operate according to safe working practices.

Magnetic stickers

Magnetic stickers sent to stations in 2001 should be attached to appliances on the day advertising the NSWFB commitment to the environment. Please note that these stickers will not attach to some appliances with an aluminium or fibreglass chassis. In this case, the stickers may be fixed to appliances in areas where they will not damage paintwork, such as roller shutters.

CARS entry

Clean Up Australia Day is listed as a community engagement activity in CARS. On-duty crews who take part in CUA activities are required to fill out a CARS entry.

Information and enquiries

Further information on the NSWFB’s involvement in CUA activities can be obtained from Anne Lear, Coordinator Corporate Risk Management (email: anne.lear@fire.nsw.gov.au, mobile: 0408 693 579)

Chief Superintendent Jim Smith, Assistant Director Community and Corporate Risk, will be available on Sunday 5 March 2006 to deal with CUA Day-related issues. He can be contacted by calling 0407 244 008.

Media enquiries should be directed to Cubby Fox, (02) 9265 2802.
