What is fire warden training?
A fire warden is any employee who is a member of the emergency control organisation (ECO) who has undertaken a warden fire training course. This means that if you are a fire warden in your organisation, this course will provide you with sufficient training to respond safely and quickly to workplace emergencies.
 
What is involved in fire warden training?
The competency-based training session for Wardens consists of both theoretical and practical training. Topics include:
  • Types of emergencies likely to occur in your building
  • Structure of ECO
  • Familiarisation tour of typical floor or site
  • Types of fire protection equipment
  • Emergency Procedures – duties of ECO

Fire Warden Training Course
AS 3745-2010 requires that all Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) members, shall be trained to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to undertake the duties set out in the emergency response procedures.
This session is for participants who have been appointed as Fire Wardens in an ECO. On completion participants will understand how to operate as part of an ECO. The session meets State/Territory WHS regulations and is designed to equip Fire Wardens with the skills and knowledge to carry out their duties in emergency situations, including emergency procedures, briefing on fire protection equipment, site familiarisation and an introduction to fire extinguishers.


Emergency Exercise Training

As part of compliance with Australian Standard 3745-2010, an Evacuation Exercise must be conducted at least annually for each business for all occupants.  The Evacuation Exercise is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Emergency Response Procedures and Evacuation Plan, the actions and execution of the roles and responsibilities of the Wardens and how the occupants / visitors of the building respond to an emergency. It is also designed to familiarise the occupants with the paths of travel to their fire exits as well as the location of the Assembly Area.

As part of your Warden Training, Optimum Training can observe and monitor your annual Evacuation Exercise which includes a site-specific scenario drill. Following the Evacuation Exercise, the consultant will conduct a de-brief with the Wardens to discuss recommendations for future evacuations.  A detailed report will be provided to your site listing potential improvements.
