Course Description
The unit PUAFER005 – Operate as Part of an Emergency Control Organisation – equips students with the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively as a member of an emergency control organisation (ECO) during workplace emergencies. This unit is essential for individuals designated as wardens or emergency personnel in workplaces such as offices, factories, schools, and public facilities, where a coordinated response to emergencies is critical for ensuring the safety of all occupants.
Throughout the course, students will learn how to respond to a range of emergency situations, including fires, evacuations, medical emergencies, and security threats. Training covers the roles and responsibilities of ECO members, how to communicate effectively with building occupants and emergency services, and the procedures for safely evacuating or managing individuals during an emergency. Students will also be taught how to implement emergency plans, operate emergency communication systems, and follow safety protocols.
This unit is ideal for employees assigned to emergency roles such as fire wardens, evacuation officers, or safety coordinators who are responsible for managing emergency responses in their workplace.
Upon completing PUAFER005, students will be fully prepared to operate as part of an emergency control organisation, ensuring the safety of occupants and the efficient management of emergencies. The skills gained from this unit will help enhance workplace safety, improve emergency readiness, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
