Online Fire Warden Training | Emergency Warden Training

What Is Fire Warden Training?

Fire Warden Training prepares staff to act as emergency leaders in workplaces. Fire wardens lead evacuations, assist others, and liaise with emergency services. Unlike general fire safety courses, specialized fire warden training focuses on leadership in emergencies. This training is crucial for businesses, schools, healthcare, and industrial sites to ensure safe emergency responses.

Why Fire Warden Training Is Essential

This training builds staff confidence and calmness during emergencies, fulfilling Work Health and Safety (WHS) and building code legal obligations. It reduces risks of injury, confusion, and panic while providing peace of mind and compliance assurance for businesses.

Compliance & Australian Standards

Fire Warden Training complies with Australian Standard AS 3745, which mandates workplaces to appoint and train fire wardens. First 5 Minutes ensures training meets these compliance requirements, supporting legal workplace obligations for emergency preparedness.

What’s Included in Fire Warden Training?

Role and Responsibilities of Fire Wardens

Participants learn the critical duties of fire wardens, including managing safe evacuations, identifying fire hazards, raising alarms, and coordinating with emergency services. Training covers the importance of leadership during emergencies and maintaining workplace safety protocols.

Emergency Evacuation Procedures

The course details step-by-step evacuation processes, from initiating alarms to accounting for all occupants at assembly points. It emphasizes quick, calm, and efficient evacuation techniques tailored for different workplace environments, ensuring compliance with AS 3745.

Communication During Emergencies

Clear communication is vital during crises. Fire wardens are trained to provide authoritative instructions, use emergency communication systems, and liaise with internal teams and external emergency responders to minimize confusion and maintain order.

Assisting People with Disabilities or Special Needs

Special considerations are given to safely evacuating people who require assistance, including those with disabilities, mobility challenges, or other special needs. Strategies are taught to ensure inclusivity and safety during an emergency.

Practical Evacuation Drills

Hands-on drills simulate real emergency scenarios to allow trainees to practice evacuation leadership, use fire safety equipment, and apply emergency procedures under the guidance of experienced trainers, enhancing readiness and confidence.
