Fire Warden

Any large building or establishment where people gather requires fire wardens for overseeing health and safety. Building operations need to function seamlessly and securely for all workers and visitors, and building and industry managers are on the lookout for staff who can multitask and outperform the competition. Fire Warden Training (PUAFER005) at Real Response is the superior way to help you develop a workplace advantage and prepare for an emergency or evacuation.

What Does A Fire Warden Do?

Fire wardens control the movements of workmates, colleagues and visitors to an establishment during emergency evacuation. Real Response training is deeply embedded and becomes second nature in emergency situations requiring timely response and sound leadership. A fire warden will secure the site, coordinate helpers, communicate with medics, prioritise the evacuation and apply appropriate workplace procedures.

Coaxing people away from their workstations can be difficult, but with the right training comes an approach that will be respected and appreciated. Fire wardens evacuate staff and visitors, corral people at designated meeting points, count heads, maintain emergency equipment, and assist other first aiders and emergency services personnel. Fire wardens are an essential part of any building safety strategy, and an important addition to any workforce.
