Purpose
Working in Emergency Services within the industrial sector is widely recognised as a high-risk profession. As such, maintaining a high level of skill and competence is critical. The Emergency Services Skills Assessment (ESSA) provides a structured evaluation of an individual’s capabilities against defined industry standards. It serves as a point-in-time snapshot of a candidate’s ability to perform core functions across emergency services disciplines.
ESSA forms part of the wider Certification process and does not guarantee certification.
ESSA is designed to assess the skill level of Emergency Services professionals to ensure they possess the necessary core skills to perform their roles effectively and safely in high-risk environments, such as
the mining sector.
