In a workplace fire emergency, well-trained leadership can mean the difference between calm and chaos. Fire warden training equips designated staff with the knowledge and skills to manage evacuations effectively and ensure optimal emergency preparedness.
Under AS 3745 – Planning for Emergencies in Facilities, workplaces are required to have trained fire wardens who are responsible for leading and coordinating evacuations, assisting others, and acting as the point of contact during emergencies.
Why is Fire Warden Training Essential?
– Ensures a clear chain of command during emergencies
– Helps reduce confusion and delays during evacuations
– Supports people with limited mobility or specific needs
– Aids in identifying and mitigating fire risks before they escalate
– Meets legal obligations and audit requirements
What Fire Wardens Learn:
✔️ Roles and responsibilities in emergency situations
✔️ How to identify hazards and raise alarms
✔️ Use of evacuation procedures and emergency exits
✔️ Coordinating with emergency services
✔️ Effective communication with staff and visitors
✔️ Post-incident procedures and reporting
