Overview
This course provides participants much more than just fire extinguisher training. It ensures worksites will have a sufficient number of staff who can respond to any emergency. It is an abridged version of the Fire Warden course including identifying the classes of fire and correctly use a fire extinguisher, a fire blanket and a fire hose reel (if applicable) as required by the Occupational Health Safety and Welfare Act Regulations and Australian Standard 3745 (ECO) as well as practical advice on handling many other emergencies.
Objective
To ensure worksites have sufficient trained staff to manage any emergency
Content
- The triangle of fire and the classification of fires
- Explanation of the theory and use of fire fighting equipment
- Use of fire fighting equipment (including a fire hose reel where applicable) on a real controlled fire (NO 'gas rings' or 'dry operation' used)
- Explanation of the types of extinguishers in the workplace and their application
- Evacuation and the use of fire fighting equipment
- Invacuation (lock down) strategies for worksites
- Bomb threats and their management

We also provide an excellent free Powerpoint CD presentation 'Fire Safety and Emergency Response' that can serve as a superb revisionary tool.

Fees and Facilitation

Duration is about one and a quarter hours.
An area of about 7 metres square is required for fire fighting training.

The fee for extra participants is $20 per person.
There may be a small travelling charge for some country areas
Participants are issued with a Certificate of Attainment.
We use a real fire so that participants gain the proper experience of extinguishing a fire. We DO NOT undertake 'dry' firing of extinguishers i.e. squirting fire extinguishers into the air or onto the ground, nor do we use a 'gas ring' type device that does not in any way replicate a real fire. This course gives the maximum number of people in workplaces useable skills to manage any emergency whilst causing the least inconvenience to staffing. We have facilitated the extensive training of staff in many work environments and are aware of both the requirements and the culture of most workplaces)
