Fire Safety In Healthcare Facilities

This program has been designed for members of an Emergency Planning Committee (EPC) or a person required to manage problems and resolve issues in relation to the organisation’s facility emergency prevention process and emergency control structures.

It covers the skills and knowledge required to be ‘emergency aware’ in their facility allowing them to identify and where possible prevent the development of facility emergency situations. 

Participants will also learn how to manage and monitor facility emergency prevention and control structures for a complex facility or a defined group of facilities such as a building, structure or workplace as specified in Australian Standard AS 3745-2010 and AS 4083-2010. 

It also includes preparing for emergency situations, identifying and assessing an emergency, safely confining emergencies, using initial response equipment and reporting on the facility's emergency response.

All aspects of this course will be undertaken in accordance with legislative requirements, organisational policies and procedures and accepted safe practices.
