Fire Warden Training Course
Different states employ differing OH&S laws. Whether your State laws require warden training or not it is always good practice to have trained wardens in the event of an emergency. As a general guideline if employees are based at a fixed place of work, the employer must ensure that one or more persons are appointed and appropriately trained to oversee evacuations and where required in the use of fire fighting equipment.
Our First Line of Defence fire warden training course caters for 1 to 15 people and is the same cost regardless of the number of people. If you have more than 15 potential trainees then we can offer back to back training courses.
The fire warden training courses last for around 1.75 hours and within this time we provide practical and theoretical training in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3745 on the following:-
- Duties and responsibilities of the chief fire warden, deputy fire warden, fire wardens, floor wardens and first aiders.
- Review of property layout and identification of key areas such as muster points via a walk around with our instructor.
- Identification of potential problem areas within the premises of the company in an emergency situation via a walk around with our instructor.
