How to use this calculator

Project and review scope

A site emergency preparation record: a one-page contact card plus the full plan worksheet. It is preparation, not live emergency dispatch; all numbers and facilities are entered by you and nothing is looked up.

Emergency contact card

Built from the project fields above — fill those in and the card updates. Print it on its own; the full plan prints from “Print report”. This is preparation, not dispatch: in an emergency, call the emergency number.

How to use this calculator

  1. Fill in the site address, coordinates and CRS, access gate, local emergency number, callback number, contacts, communications, nearest medical facility, muster point and crew roles.
  2. Check the contact card straight away — it updates as you type — and print it on its own as a one-page card.
  3. Record whether the primary and backup communications were tested at the site, then work through the full plan rows and print the complete report separately.

How it works

The contact card is built only from what you enter. Any missing item prints as “NOT RECORDED — outstanding” on the card, and the same finding appears in the full report.

Missing location, access gate, callback number or emergency number, and untested primary or backup communications, block “Ready for reviewer”. There is no hospital, facility or travel-time database.

This is preparation, not live dispatch. Sections cover call-for-help, communications, responder access, coordination, muster and headcount, hazards, medical and evacuation, drills and plan review.

Worked example

A remote job without gate details. A remote traverse has an address, coordinates, emergency number 000, a callback number and a tested satellite messenger, but no access gate. The card shows “Access gate / meet responders at: NOT RECORDED — outstanding”, the full report lists the same outstanding finding, and the record cannot be marked Ready for reviewer until the gate is recorded.

Frequently asked questions

What has actually been checked?

Only what a person marked Verified, with the evidence they recorded. Contact numbers and facilities are as you entered them; nothing is looked up or rung.

Can I use my own project requirements?

Yes. Add site-specific contacts, hazards and rows, and mark rows that do not apply with a reason. Add your own rows (they get stable IDs), and mark rows that do not apply as Not applicable with a reason.

Does a complete checklist prove the work complies?

No. “Ready for reviewer” is your declaration that every applicable row is verified. Your employer's and the site's emergency plan and procedures govern.

Does this replace my site emergency plan?

No. It helps you prepare and print a contact card and plan worksheet; follow the site's documented emergency procedures, and in an emergency call the emergency number.

Is this official course material?

No. It is free study support mapped to surveying course levels — not official North Metropolitan TAFE content or advice. Always follow your lecturer and the official assessment brief, and check your own working.
