Who Should Attend

This course is designed to train participants on what is required for first response actions in the event of a fire emergency.  Training will include the identification of first response fire fighting equipment and the techniques to safely and effectively control or contain the emergency.

Under the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 new workers must be trained in first response evacuation instructions within one month of starting. This training is to be renewed every 2 years. If there are changes to the emergency plans or equipment, workers must be retrained within one month of the changes occurring.

The course includes both theory and practical components and:

• Meets the requirements of the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 for first response instruction
• Provides employees with the skills and knowledge to prevent and respond to an emergency situation
• Trains the correct procedures and appropriate equipment to use in the event of a fire emergency

State of the Art Digital Simulation

Total Management and Training utilises the BullEx BullsEye Laser Driven Fire Training System. BullsEye senses where the user aims and sweeps a laser training extinguisher and automatically varies the LED driven digital flames in response. The BullsEye’s electronic control system responds to the trainees’ actions, putting the fire out only when the extinguisher is used correctly. Because only laser light is emitted from the training extinguisher, extinguisher training can now be conducted in training rooms, board-rooms, meeting rooms — virtually anywhere.

We can also create realistic training scenarios in any environment. The BullsEye can be positioned in hallways, hotel rooms, ship decks, shop floors, or storage areas to create a variety of realistic training experiences.

What will the participant receive at the conclusion of the course?

Participants who demonstrate competency by passing both theory and practical assessments (including demonstrating the use of a fire hose) will receive a Statement of Attainment for CPPFES2005 Demonstrate first attack fire fighting equipment.  

Where a fire hose is not available, participants will receive a Statement of Completion.
