Fire emergencies are unpredictable, but if you have a well-prepared team, it can make all the difference. Recognising this, at Tactical Essential Services, we provide fire warden training in Melbourne and surrounding suburbs for businesses across all industries. Our training equips staff with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to manage emergencies and assist with evacuations safely.
Fire warden training is an essential component of any workplace’s strategy to ensure safety. Equipping key personnel with the knowledge and skills they need to manage fire risks, evacuations, and respond effectively under pressure will make all the difference when it comes to workplace safety.
The Role of a Fire Warden
A fire warden is responsible for overseeing fire safety in a workplace. This includes checking all the fire exits and equipment. They also report potential hazards and ensure that evacuation procedures are not only established but also followed in the event of an emergency.
Fire wardens are usually the first point of contact in any crisis. They play a critical leadership role until emergency services arrive on the scene.
While not legally required in every workplace, having trained fire wardens is highly recommended. WHS laws require businesses to manage workplace risks, and having fire wardens ready to lead evacuations and respond to emergencies is an important part of that.
