Area Warden

Course Overview

Emergency evacuation planning ensures that everyone knows what to do in the event of an emergency. Wardens take charge of a building evacuation, ensuring that all occupants are safely evacuated.

Employers, main contractors, self-employed persons and persons in control of a workplace are required to prepare for potential emergencies that might occur including providing training for those persons who would be required to help control potential emergencies.
