Fire Extinguisher & Emergency Warden Awareness

OVERVIEW

Our combined Fire Extinguisher and Emergency Warden Awareness training course is designed to provide the skills and knowledge required to confine small emergencies in a facility and applies to occupants who are required to have first attack firefighting skills, work within the command, control and coordination structure of an Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) and/or required to make decisions about the safety of occupants during a facility emergency and to give instructions on the priority order for responding to an emergency incident.

Regular evacuation training will ensure that your personnel are ready to deal with any workplace emergency.

Part of our course includes undertaking pre-emergency planning, identifying, and assessing an emergency, safely confining emergencies, using initial response equipment, taking appropriate actions in an emergency, and assisting with post emergency activities.

The course will ensure all personnel are suitably training in the safe use of Fire Extinguishers, Fire Hose Reels and Fire Blankets.
