4.1 Assessment drills are designed for the specific
purpose of providing a means for an individual to demonstrate that
he or she has achieved the required standard of competence in basic
safety (i.e. personal survival, firefighting, elementary first aid,
and personal safety) and other emergency response elements determined
to be appropriate for the MOU.
4.2 Personnel not regularly assigned to a MOU
may experience difficulty in documenting that they have achieved the
required standard of competence in basic safety under realistic conditions
(i.e. they may have only been assessed during shore-based training).
Accordingly, installation managers should be encouraged to include
such personnel in assessment drills when they are conducted.
4.3 Because of the importance attached to proficiency
in basic safety, individuals failing to demonstrate the required level
of proficiency should be immediately provided with remedial training.
4.4 Guidance on assessment drills is provided
in attachment 5.
