With their consent, the participant's health status is subject to regular and timely review by an appropriately qualified health practitioner. The plan identifies how risks, incidents and emergencies will be managed, including required actions and escalation to ensure participant wellbeing.
           (2) Appropriate policies and procedures are in place, including a training plan for workers, that relate to the support provided to each participant who is ventilator dependent.
           (3) All workers have completed training, relating specifically to each participant's ventilation needs, managing a related incident and the high intensity support skills descriptor for ventilator management, delivered by an appropriately qualified health practitioner or person who meets the high intensity support skills descriptor for ventilator management.
