About the course

This non-accredited workplace Fire Warden training has been developed specifically for members of an Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) who are floor/area wardens or wardens/deputy wardens.

The course equips wardens with the skills and knowledge required to work within the command, control and coordination structure of an ECO. An ECO's priority is the safety of facility occupants and visitors during an emergency which means ECO members are responsible for pre-emergency, emergency and post emergency actions.

Participants will learn the following:

• The duties of the ECO as identified in the emergency response procedures and emergency plan
• Procedures for the specific emergencies contained in the emergency plan
• Responding to alarms and reports of emergencies
• Reporting emergencies and initiating the installed emergency warning equipment
• Communication during emergencies
• Pre-emergency activities
• Emergency activities
• Post-emergency activities
• Occupants and visitors with disabilities including personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEPs)
• Human behaviour during emergencies
• The use of installed emergency response equipment and may include evacuation chairs, evacuation sheets, evacuation mats and WIP phones
• The performance of the building and its installations during a fire or other emergency and may include features such as fire doors, emergency lights, exit signage, sprinklers, ventilation and smoke control systems and fire rated stairs
