TRAINING
Chief Warden
The best time to be prepared for an emergency is before an emergency
lead by example, effectively command and control your people
There needs to be someone in charge when an emergency occurs. This responsibility falls on the Chief Warden or Emergency Coordinator (for healthcare facilities). They ensure the emergency response procedures go ahead and act as the main point of contact during an emergency to ensure everyone gets out safely.
Chief Wardens, Emergency Coordinators and their Deputies require the most thorough training and should participate in skills refresher training at 6 monthly intervals.

In the event of an Emergency, you need the right people to stand up and take control.
Chief Warden or Emergency Coordinators act as the primary point of contact, liaising with other members of the Emergency Control Organisation (Fire Wardens). They will determine the correct course of action for the particular emergency in accordance with the facilities Emergency Management Plan, and assume control until the arrival of responding emergency services.
