Warden/Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) Instruction

Our ECO sessions are designed to provide your facility’s wardens with the knowledge and skill to respond to emergencies and undertake effective evacuation of occupants.

The Warden sessions cover facility emergency systems; the warden structure; raising the alarm and conducting evacuations; human behaviour during emergencies; reporting to emergency services, and providing assistance to occupants during a range of emergencies.

The Chief Warden session for those responsible for co-ordinating facility emergencies also includes managing emergencies and co-ordinating evacuations, using facility alarm resources such as the Fire Indicator Panel and Public Address, and where installed, the Emergency Warning Systems.

Our facility specific onsite warden training is delivered by suitably qualified and experienced instructors. Learning outcomes are assessed throughout the session through active questioning, discussion, participation and where appropriate, active demonstration.
