Practical emergency confinement training on-site at your workplace, or at our Tomago centre
The PUAFER008 – Confine Small Emergencies in a Facility course provides participants with the skills and knowledge to safely identify, assess and control small emergencies in the workplace or community. Delivered onsite at your workplace, or at our Tomago training centre, this course supports businesses and individuals across Port Stephens, Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley. Our trainers bring real frontline experience from emergency and clinical settings, so you're learning from people who've genuinely responded to these situations.
This nationally aligned training is ideal for employees, contractors, students or residents who are required to hold first attack firefighting skills under facility emergency procedures. Participants will learn how to prepare for emergencies, confine hazards such as minor fires, chemical spills or vehicle accidents, and report on the facility's emergency response, all in accordance with Australian Standards AS 3745 and AS 4083 and organisational policies.
Key learning outcomes include the ability to use fire extinguishers, spill kits and personal protective equipment (PPE), communicate effectively with occupants and emergency personnel, and apply WHS/OHS and risk management processes to maintain safety.
We also work with larger teams and corporate groups, training staff together at our Tomago facility, or on-site at your workplace. It's an efficient way to build a genuinely capable, confident team.
