What is a Fire Warden and what do they do?​

In many organisations in the Sydney area, both large and small, the appointment of a Fire Warden is an important part of any workplace’s overall Emergency Management Plan and can play a huge role in ensuring the successful management of an emergency situation in the workplace.

Workplace Fire Wardens are a crucial member of your organisation’s Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) and are responsible for taking control of an emergency situation should it arise. This includes liaising with emergency services upon their arrival to an emergency and ensuring the safe evacuation of staff and visitors by following proper evacuation procedure.

Undertaking Fire Warden Training as a business in the Sydney area is imperative. In Sydney, it is very common for the layout of offices to be multi-levelled with stairs or elevators, a heavily populated space or even a space that is shared between multiple organisations. Appointing a dedicated Fire Warden into your office building, warehouse or retail space is a small, yet powerful step in your workplace’s overall emergency management policies and procedures.

What you will learn during Fire Warden Training in Sydney ?

The appointment of a Fire Warden ensures that those in your organisation (staff and visitors) have an understanding of who they can turn to for guidance and direction during an emergency situation. Additionally, your Workplace Fire Warden should be available to answer questions and listen to concerns relating to emergencies on any given workday, to ensure staff are educated and confident in their role during an emergency.

Without a dedicated Fire Warden, your workplace faces increased risk of disorganisation and unease in the event that an emergency situation does arise. Staff and visitors may not know where they need to go, who they need to take direction from and what they need to do if they notice something isn’t right at work. It’s amazing what a little bit of peace of mind can do for a workplace during high-stress, adrenaline-inducing situations. This is just one of the benefits a dedicate Fire Warden can provide.
