Fire Warden Training and Fire Safety

Why is fire warden training considered essential within a workplace? Firstly, having an organised system in place helps to maintain order and organisation within a group as much as possible, when there might not be much time. Secondly, a fire warden acts as a group leader, which thier role involves directing and controlling a group, where there might be panic and confusion and people are looking for someone who can direct them to safety.

What's covered in the Fire Warden Training Course?

There are many topics covered in the Fire Warden Training Course, and includes information about how to identify, monitor and report situations that could lead to workplace emergencies, respond to emergency signals and warnings, initiate and control initial emergency response, preparation for emergency situations, identifying and assessing the emergecny and using intial response equipment.

The course is run over an 8 hour day and is part of a nationally recognised Public Safety Training Package.

Fire Safety is a term that refers to implementing measures that help to prevent or reduce the likelihood of a fire.  Fire Safety in the workplace doesn't mean much unless there is a fire safety policy in place. These policies keep fire hazards to a minimum and helps to maximise the safety of all persons in the workplace. Fire safety training is also essential for ensuring the building's occupants know what to do in an emergency and where the fire exits are located.

Confined Space Training

Confined Space Training is a specialised area of emergency training. A confined space is anywhere that is difficult to access, and are often dark, narrow and may contain harmful vapours and gases. The challenges of performing a rescue in a confined space needs specialised training, which Australasian Fire and Safety provide. Rescues from a confined space may be performed through entry or non-entry. Non-entry rescues are preferable as no one has to enter the confined space and risk further injuries and fatalities. Entry rescue is used when non-entry is not an option. We provide specialised training for these types of rescues and show our clients how to use rescue equipment effectively and safely.

Emergency Training

Emergency situations, whether they be due to a fire or other life threatening situation, need thorough and skilled training. Australasian Fire and Safety provide such training courses that are nationally accredited and recognised. Emergencies require quick thinking and quick responses, which our clients will learn through our emergency training courses. It is essential for many employees and employers to undertake emergency training so they are equipped to assist in any emergency situations that arise in the workplace.
