Combined Safety Services, a leading Registered Training Organisation in Newcastle, is proud to introduce the Control Workplace Emergencies course, developed in collaboration with local industries. This comprehensive course, comprising Nationally Accredited Units of Competency, is designed to prioritize the skills of your workplace emergency control team.
The Control Workplace Emergencies course aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to make critical decisions during facility emergencies and to instruct others on responding to workplace incidents. Participants have the flexibility to enroll in specific units of competency, with the Chief Warden unit requiring completion of the 'Operate as part of an emergency control organization' Warden unit as a prerequisite.
This program is tailored to develop participants' abilities to fulfill various roles in an emergency control organization, from preparing emergency procedures to coordinating evacuations and providing assistance as per facility protocols. Emphasizing fire safety awareness and basic fire training, the course aims to mitigate fire risks across industries.
Participants in the Chief Warden course will gain expertise in leading emergency response procedures, commanding and coordinating responses, and acting as primary liaisons with emergency services.
