ABOUT THIS COURSE
Respond to Facility Emergencies delivers PUAFER004 — the practical response qualification for workers who may need to take immediate action in the first minutes of a facility emergency before wardens or emergency services arrive on scene.
This course covers the practical “what to do in the moment” skills for fire, hazardous material, medical, security and structural emergencies. It is the practical complement to the awareness-level PUAFER001 and works particularly well alongside warden training (PUAFER005) for workers in dual roles.
Designed for workers in offices, manufacturing, warehouses and industrial facilities who may be first on scene to a developing emergency. Emphasis is on safe response, basic containment, evacuation support and structured handover.
