Statutory EPC Obligations

AS 3745-2010 Section 2

The standard mandates the formation of an Emergency Planning Committee (EPC) to take responsibility for the development, implementation, and maintenance of the emergency plan.

  • Annual EPC Meetings (Minimum)
  • Formal Appointment of ECO Members
  • Review of Emergency Risk Assessments

The Liability Gap

"The EPC shall be responsible for ensuring that the emergency plan is readily available and communicated to all occupants."

Failure to document EPC governance is a Compliance Gap. In the event of an incident, the Coronial inquiry or WHS investigation will first seek the EPC meeting minutes to verify that the facility's governing body exercised due diligence.

Governance Breakdown

AS 3745 requirements for the EPC aren't just administrative — they are the legal backbone of your emergency framework.

Requirement 1
Committee Minutes
Documentary evidence of approvals and compliance decisions.
Requirement 2
Plan Endorsement
Formal sign-off on the Emergency Procedures Manual annually.
