Fire safety is a given in the Gold Coast, where the mix of high-rise buildings, bustling commercial areas and tourism hotspots create the perfect recipe for workplace fires. Every year, fires break out in Australian workplaces, hammering home the importance of fire safety and the need for trained professionals to take charge when disaster strikes. And with laws in place - like the AS 3745-2010 standard and Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations - having a fire warden in place isn't just a good idea - it's the law.
Whether you run a high-rise building, a retail outlet or an industrial facility, fire warden training courses are a no-brainer for your team. We offer a range of training programs that can be done online or in-person, because let's be honest - not every team has the same schedule. Our online fire warden training program is a real lifesaver for busy teams, allowing staff to complete their fire safety training at their own pace, from anywhere in the Gold Coast.
Our training is designed to meet the very latest Australian Standards, so you know you're getting training that's up to the minute and compliant with all the relevant laws. And, of course, all our participants get certified on completion, so you can rest easy knowing your team is ready to handle any emergency that comes their way.
In workplaces across the Gold Coast, fire warden training isn't just a nice to have - it's a must. And that's because the law says so. The AS 3745-2010 standard and WHS regulations are crystal clear: businesses need to have designated fire wardens, especially in high-risk areas.
The Risks of Non-Compliance:
Fines are likely: If you're not complying with fire safety regulations, you can bet your business will be slapped with a hefty fine.
Your business could be on the hook: In the event of an emergency, if your fire warden duties aren't being met, you could be held liable.
Insurance woes: Not having adequately trained fire wardens can wipe out your business's insurance policy in the event of a fire.
The general rule of thumb is one fire warden per 20 people on site, although this can vary depending on the size and risks of your workplace. In high-risk areas like shopping malls, high-rises or schools, you'll need even more fire wardens to make sure everyone is safe.
A rough guide for staffing: One fire warden per 20 employees or based on the building’s risk assessment.
Our fire warden training courses are designed to give your team both the theory and practical skills they need to handle emergency situations. Whether you're in Surfers Paradise or Helensvale, our training programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of your business.
What You'll Learn in Our Training:
Fire Safety Procedures 101: Learn the basics of preventing fires, using fire safety equipment and responding in an emergency.
Evacuation planning made easy: Train on how to lead an evacuation and manage assembly points to ensure everyone gets out safely.
Roles and Responsibilities in the ECO: Discover the responsibilities of fire wardens in your workplace's emergency control structure and how to coordinate an effective emergency response.

Hands-on training with fire extinguishers: Get practical experience with fire safety equipment to ensure your team knows exactly what to do in an emergency.
Coping with human behaviour in emergencies: Understand how to manage people’s emotions and actions during emergencies and keep everyone safe.

Handling Emergency Situations : We cover real-life scenarios like fire drills, bomb threats and chemical spills - all to get your fire wardens ready for anything.
One of the toughest parts of being a fire warden is dealing with people who won't budge. Here's how to handle it:
Stay Cool and Calm : Fire wardens need to stay in control, even when people get upset or panicked.
Polite but Firm Communication : You've got to remind people of the risks and get them to evacuate quickly.
Yes, it is. You need to train your fire wardens under AS 3745-2010 and Work Health & Safety laws, especially if you've got a high-risk workplace.
Online courses will take about 2-3 hours, while in-person training will probably take around 6-8 hours.
We reckon it's a good idea to refresh training every two years, and throw in some regular fire drills to keep your team on their toes.
If you can't get enough fire wardens you could end up with fines and trouble with your insurance. As a rule of thumb, you need one fire warden for every 20 employees on site.
