ABOUT THIS COURSE
Warden, Chief Warden and Fire Extinguisher (Full) combines PUAFER005, PUAFER006 and PUAFER008 in a single 2-day pathway — the complete ECO qualification for new emergency control organisation members who need full warden, leadership and fire extinguisher credentials from the outset.
This combined pathway is ideal for new ECO members in smaller workplaces where one person may need to fill multiple roles, or for facilities setting up an ECO from scratch. It delivers full AS 3745-2010 compliance across all three foundational warden units in one efficient course.
It is also a popular pathway for facility managers and senior staff stepping into emergency leadership for the first time. Annual refresher across all three units is recommended to maintain currency.
