Introduction
Fire training first response Chinchilla course applies to operators who are required to respond to fires in the workplace (other than evacuating to the assembly point). It covers the first response (only) to fire, and does not include aggressive fire-fighting. Typically this response would be undertaken to contain/extinguish a minor fire or to contain a more major fire until external help arrives (such as for an urban plant) or to allow for mobilisation of more highly trained responders or evacuation (for a remote/offshore plant).
During this first response to fire training course, you will learn about how to assess and recognise the different types of fires and appropriate ways to respond including when to get help, equipment to use and minimising the impact from a fire incident
As several fire courses are available so it is important to also check on any particular requirements relevant to your industry or work function.

We utilise instructors from medium to high risk industries such as resources sector whose experience ensures relevance for you in this course.

Frequently Asked Questions
Operators who are required to respond to fires in the workplace (other than evacuating to the assembly point). It covers the first response (only) to fire, and does not include aggressive fire-fighting. Typically this response would be undertaken to contain/extinguish a minor fire or to contain a more major fire until external help arrives (for an urban plant) or to allow for mobilisation of more highly trained responders or evacuation (for a remote/offshore plant).
Small emergencies in a facility include incidents such as small fires that can be controlled using a fire extinguisher; chemical spills that can be controlled using facility personal protective clothing and equipment and a spill kit; or a vehicle accident where there is no significant injury or damage. This particular unit of competency course MSMWHS212 has a primarily focus towards first response to fire incidents.
This First response to Fire incident – MSMWHS212 course is quite different from (Fire Warden) PUAFER005 Operate as part of an emergency control organisation. Commonly called Fire Warden Training, this course was developed to cover the facilities as specified in Australian Standard (AS) 3745 and AS4083 – and deals with people attending a facility on a permanent or temporary basis such as an employee, contractor, student or resident, but not a visitor or patient and a facility is a building, structure or workplace that is, or may be, occupied by people. Thus the focus is on helping people within a facility access and follow relevant emergency response procedures can could be more than fire-related event. It is also not focused on actual fire containment.
The course, therefore, also differs from Chief Warden training – which has the accredited unit PUAFER006 – Lead an emergency control organisation which is focused on the managing side the Fire Warden activities.
