Fire Warden & Chief Fire Warden Course structure
Combining classroom-based and practical activities throughout the day, our expert trainers will walk you through the key tasks that both Fire Wardens and Chief Fire Wardens are responsible for, so that you’re ready to handle evacuations and keep your workmates safe in the event of an emergency.
Does this course cover the use of fire extinguishers?
No, this course doesn’t include the use of fire extinguishers, fire reels or fire blankets. If your team needs to know how to use that equipment, we recommend checking out our Fire Warden & Firefighting Equipment Course.
Language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills requirements
Trainees must be able to speak English clearly, understand and complete worksite documentation and explain and describe issues relating to facility-type emergencies.
Our expert Trainers will guide and support you throughout the learning process. However, please note that the formal assessments are closed-book.
To give you an idea of the language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills required, here are five example questions similar in complexity to what you’ll encounter during the course:
- List three positions within an Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) and explain the role of one of them
- Describe the differences between an assembly point and a muster point
- Identify three behaviours you may observe in people during an emergency evacuation
- What is a dynamic risk assessment and why is it important in emergency situations?
- What are two important considerations when selecting an emergency assembly area?
If you’re not sure whether your Language, Literacy, Numeracy or Digital Literacy skills are suitable for this course, please contact WAM Training by calling 1800 143 343 so that we can provide you with a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Assessment to help determine your readiness.
