This course is a combination of our nationally recognised Fire Extinguisher, Fire Warden, Chief Fire Warden training courses. This combined course is designed for persons who are required to perform the role of Chief or Deputy Chief Fire Warden at their workplace, but do not have the prerequisite unit PUAFER005 to complete this training. Participants will develop skills to ascertain the extent of onsite workplace emergencies and supervise evacuation of the workplace. Particular attention will be placed on meeting the requirements of Australian Standard 3745-2010 Emergency Control Organisation and procedures for buildings, structures and workplaces and how it applies to all workplaces.

Participants will gain an understanding of emergency procedures and undertake practical exercises involving workplace emergency response, evacuation management, and fire safety equipment. The course also includes hands-on live fire extinguisher training, giving participants the opportunity to safely extinguish a controlled fire using workplace firefighting equipment under the guidance of an experienced trainer.

Practical scenarios will be completed which will simulate a workplace and the emergency evacuation equipment that is available. For group scenarios, Australian Training Institute can tailor this course to suit your workplace specific requirements and covers the following subjects:
