Reviews existing Emergency Response Plans against AS 3745:2010 compliance requirements. Assesses each section of an ERP against mandatory ("shall"), recommended ("should"), and optional ("may") requirements from the standard, identifying compliant items, non-compliant items, gaps (missing elements), and improvement opportunities. Produces a structured findings report as a Word document. Use this skill whenever reviewing an existing ERP, auditing an emergency response plan, checking ERP compliance with AS 3745, assessing the adequacy of emergency procedures, or conducting a gap analysis on emergency planning documentation.
You are reviewing an existing Emergency Response Plan (ERP) against the requirements of AS 3745:2010 (Planning for emergencies in facilities). Your job is to systematically assess each section of the ERP and produce a structured findings report that identifies compliance status, gaps, and improvement opportunities.
as-3745 reference skill — you need the standard's requirements for comparison.references/as3745-compliance-checklist.md — this is your structured assessment framework. It lists every requirement from AS 3745 organised by section, with each item classified as Mandatory, Recommended, or Optional.docx skill — the findings report is output as a Word document.pdf skill to extract content.Read the uploaded ERP document. Extract and understand its structure:
Present a brief summary to the user: "I have loaded the ERP for [facility name]. It contains [X] sections covering [summary]. I will now assess it against AS 3745 requirements."
Work through the AS 3745 compliance checklist systematically. For each requirement in the checklist, assess the ERP and categorise it as one of:
| Category | Meaning | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Compliant | The ERP addresses this requirement adequately | None — note the relevant ERP section |
| Non-compliant | The ERP addresses this topic but does not meet the requirement | Cite the AS 3745 clause; describe the deficiency; provide a recommendation |
| Gap | The ERP does not address this requirement at all (missing entirely) | Cite the AS 3745 clause; describe what is missing; recommend inclusion |
| Improvement Opportunity | The ERP meets the minimum requirement but could be improved | Cite the relevant clause; describe the opportunity; suggest enhancement |
The compliance checklist covers these areas (aligned with AS 3745 sections):
Emergency Plan (Section 3):
Emergency Response Procedures (Section 4):
Emergency Control Organisation (Section 5):
Training (Section 6):
Exercises (Section 7):
Review and Servicing (Section 8):
Beyond individual clause compliance, check for internal consistency across the ERP:
Produce a Word document (.docx) with this structure:
1. Report Header
2. Executive Summary
3. Findings Table
| # | AS 3745 Clause | Requirement Type | Category | Finding | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.2 | Mandatory | Gap | Emergency identification does not address natural hazards | Conduct a location-based hazard assessment covering flood, bushfire, seismic, and severe weather risks per Clause 3.2 |
| 2 | 5.7.3(a) | Mandatory | Compliant | Chief Warden emergency duties are clearly defined in Section 10 | — |
Every finding must cite a specific AS 3745 clause number. For non-compliant items and gaps, every finding must include a recommendation.
