EPC members must receive training that enables them to competently execute their obligations, and should address the following: 

• Develop, manage, and maintain the emergency plan.
• Understand the duties of the EPC and ECO members during emergency response procedures.
• Outline the duties of the Emergency Response Team as during emergency response procedures.

• Liaise with Emergency Services.

All ECO members must be trained to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to perform their duties outlined in emergency management manual. Due to ECO members potentially being absent during emergencies, all ECO positions must have more than the minimum number of members.  

The training of all ECO members must include: 

• Duties of the ECO as described in emergency response procedures.

• Responding to alarms and reports in emergencies.
• Reporting emergencies and initiating the installed emergency warning equipment.
• Communication methods during emergencies.
• Pre-emergency activities.
• Post-emergency activities.
• Training on Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans.
• Human behaviour during emergencies.
• How to use installed emergency response equipment.
• How to use the facilities installations during a fire or other emergency. E.g. fire doors, emergency lights, or sprinklers. 

All the above training must also contain an assessment component on top of the training, to ensure ECO members have paid the appropriate amount of attention during training.  All ECO members must attend training at intervals no greater than 6 months apart. 

In addition to the training that all ECO members receive, Chief & Deputy Chief Wardens must also receive training on: 

• Their roles, responsibilities, and duties.
• Duties of the Emergency Response Team.
• Decision-making, command, and control tactics.

• Coordination of communication during emergencies.
• Liaising with Emergency Services.
• Coordination of evacuation activities.
• Implementation of post-emergency activities in accordance with the emergency plan.

If specific occupants have been chosen by the EPC and included in emergency procedures, these occupants must be trained in first-attack firefighting to properly fulfill their duties. 

This training must include: 

• Duties of the ECO and ERT.
• Preparing for site-specific fires.
• Reporting fires.
• Evacuating from endangered areas.
• Correctly identifying, reporting, and correcting unsafe conditions.

• Post-evacuation activities.

To ensure the retention of training information, all First-Attack Firefighting occupants must attend skills retention training at intervals no greater than 24 months apart. 

All occupants must receive training to increase the success of emergency response procedures during emergencies. Not only must existing occupants receive training, but all new occupants must also receive training as they enter a facility. 

The training must at a minimum include: 

• Occupant responsibilities during emergencies.
• The types of emergencies outlined in the emergency plan.
• How to report emergencies contained in the emergency plan.
• Recognising and reporting unsafe conditions and correcting unsafe conditions when appropriate.
• Authorities, roles, responsibilities, and identification of ECO members.

• Location of egress routes.
• Post-emergency protocols. 
• Procedures for specific emergencies.

Occupants of a facility, who do not work at a facility, must still receive training to enable them to act in accordance with emergency response procedures.  

Visitors at the facility are not required to receive the same training, however they must be provided with the appropriate information on the emergency response procedures of the facility. 

All occupants must attend complete training at intervals no greater than 12 months apart. 

All ECO members and occupants receiving training must be supplied with appropriate training materials dependent on role and responsibilities. These materials are important to refer back to in case any training is forgotten. 

Training materials can be supplied in the following forms: 

• Print 
• Large print 
• Electronic 
• Audio
