Warden & Chief Warden Training

Warden Training

Wardens, or Emergency Officers, play an integral role in the Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) of a business or building. With appropriate training, these individuals are able to assume control of an area, manage emergency response and direct occupants and staff to safety.

TrimEVAC provides Warden Training that is specifically designed for those who are required to respond to any type of emergency in the workplace, including fires, bomb threats, chemical incidents, and aggression. These key people are responsible for directing and controlling an emergency response in their designated areas and, ultimately, getting people to safety.

To create a fully trained and competent ECO, Warden Training is frequently performed in conjunction with modules:

• Chief Warden Training
• Coping in an Emergency
• Evacuation Exercises

To comply with the Australian Standard AS3745-2010, ECO members must take part in these skill sessions at least every 6 months.

Training is ideally delivered face to face and can also be delivered via the web (eg MS Teams) or by using a combination of both – to include team members normally on-site who are working from home.

Chief Warden Training

Understanding the Chief Warden role as leader of the Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) is a critical part of the emergency response process.

TrimEVAC provides training for Chief Wardens that covers:

• Decision making for incidents
• The importance of incident record keeping
• Effective communication with the Emergency Services
• The practical use of the Emergency Warden Intercommunication (if installed) along with evacuation procedures and announcements.

TrimEVAC will also train Chief Wardens on the evacuation procedures for building alarm systems, and also those that do not have any form of installed alarm system. 

This training will provide chief wardens with the skill set required to assess the risk and manage different types of emergencies in the workplace, ensuring a safe and prompt evacuation of all occupants in your building when required. Training is ideally delivered face to face and can also be delivered via the web (eg MS Teams) or by using a combination of both – to include team members normally on-site who are working from home.

TrimEVAC’s training meets the requirements of all the Australian and New Zealand Work Health and Safety legislation, regulations, relevant codes of practice and standards.
