Fire & Emergency Warden Training

Every workplace in New Zealand must have people trained in how to evacuate the building in case of an emergency. So many people only think about fire being the reason for evacuating but in reality, there could be many reasons for evacuating.

The new Health and Safety at Work Act dictates that business owners and managers must have trained competent staff able to manage emergency situations.

Our training courses are designed to your specific needs covering various types of emergencies from fire to chemical spills including natural disasters.

We run through both desktop and practical scenarios and reducing the risk of bad decision making.
Our trainer is a qualified evacuation consultant who has a good knowledge of The Fire Service Act 1975, (Section 21A Evacuation Schemes for Public Safety) and The Fire Safety and Evacuation of Buildings Regulations 2006.
