Fire Safety Training and Awareness
What training and certifications are needed for a designated fire safety officer in Australia?
Each workplace has unique needs, based on where you are, what work you do and how big you are. The gold standard for fire safety training is found in the Australian Standards document AS 3745-2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities. We use this standard to guide you through finding the right mix of training for your team.

Does every worker need a fire safety qualification?
Not everyone needs a formal qualification, but everyone needs to know what to do in an emergency. There are a variety of courses that you can take to train your team in fire safety response.
At Accidental Health and Safety, once we know a little more about your business, we can tailor a course to cover the aspects of fire safety you need.
How do I give my workers the right training?
Different roles have different needs.
For example, fire wardens need to understand how to direct an evacuation and ensure everyone has cleared their floor or area. They also need to understand how to assist people who may have specific needs or a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP). To get these skills most wardens will need a mixture of classroom or online training and practical experience from being part of evacuation drills.
We closely examine your workplace and help you develop an effective training plan that will work for you now and into the future.
How can individuals obtain fire safety qualifications?
You can obtain a fire safety qualification by undertaking the appropriate fire safety qualification. There are a variety of courses, and we’ll try to help you find the right one if it’s needed.
