Chief Fire Warden Course
(non-accredited & 100% online - $50pp

The Non-Accredited Chief Fire Warden Course, delivered 100% online by Salt Training Academy, is designed for individuals in Port Macquarie and across the Mid North Coast of NSW who are responsible for leading emergency preparedness and response in the workplace. This practical, self-paced course is ideal for Chief Wardens seeking to refresh their knowledge and confidence in managing fire and emergency situations in alignment with key principles from Australian Standards 3745 and 4083. It supports a wide range of industries, including aged care, education, hospitality, and office environments where emergency control leadership is critical.

This course covers essential topics including safe work practices, planning and preparing for emergencies, and identifying fire hazards. Participants will also review key responsibilities within an Emergency Control Organisation (ECO), including evacuation coordination, risk management, the use of emergency equipment, and post-incident reporting. Learners will gain the confidence to lead during emergencies, conduct searches, assist building occupants, and give clear and effective instructions during high-pressure situations.

The training is delivered through engaging presentations, visual guides, and scenario-based assessments designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge in a real-world context. Key content areas include evacuation procedures, ECO roles and responsibilities, the use of emergency signs and signals, and fire prevention strategies. The course concludes with a comprehensive theory assessment to confirm understanding of emergency protocols and leadership actions.

While this non-accredited course references Australian Standards, it does not replace the formal requirements of a nationally recognised Chief Warden course. Salt Training Academy recommends that each workplace assess the suitability of this training based on its specific emergency procedures and risk profile. As a trusted local provider supporting compliance and safety awareness across Port Macquarie and the Mid North Coast, Salt Training Academy offers this refresher as a valuable tool for workplace leaders committed to maintaining a safe and prepared environment.
