Emergency Evacuation Course

An organisation assigns it so every person on its sites knows what the signal means and what to do next, and so completion is recorded against each name. Employees, contractors and volunteers all take the same one, at whichever address they work from.

Yes. It is built around the way emergency plans work here, with the alert and evacuation signals used in Australian buildings, and it is kept current with the rules in every state and territory and in New Zealand.

Most organisations run an annual drill, a warden briefing for a few people, and a line in the induction pack. The drill reaches whoever turns up that day. A short module covers everyone else and leaves a record. Our guides to employee induction and to people who work alone set out the wider picture.

No, and this is general awareness training an organisation assigns to everyone in its buildings, so the difference matters. Nothing in it is nationally recognised and none of it is a unit of competency. The role training that a chief warden, a floor warden or a first aid officer needs is a separate thing, bought separately, and plenty of organisations do both.

Work health and safety law requires an emergency plan that includes evacuation procedures, and requires that workers receive information, training and instruction on carrying those procedures out. Many facilities also plan to the Australian Standard on planning for emergencies in facilities. Your organisation decides what its own plan requires.

Anyone who spends time in a building you control, which in practice means the whole workforce along with contractors and volunteers. Safe Work Australia’s own guidance separates induction and refresher training for workers from the role-specific training wardens and first aid officers need, and this course is the first of those.

A drill rehearses the people present that morning in the building they are standing in. It cannot reach night shift, new starters or the half of the workforce who were elsewhere, and it leaves no individual record. A face-to-face emergency evacuation training provider has the same limit. The module fills the gaps between drills rather than replacing them.

Most people finish in 15 to 30 minutes, in one sitting or across a few. Because nothing has to be scheduled, a whole site can be through it inside a week without a room booked or a trainer brought in.

That is your organisation’s decision. Twelve months is the common cycle, usually timed to land with the yearly exercise. The other trigger is physical: a new floor, a moved tenancy or a redrawn assembly point dates the old training immediately.

It is legally endorsed, written with legal input and then reviewed against what each state, territory and New Zealand requires. Ask at the demo if your governance file needs that endorsement confirmed in writing.

We revise the module and the next person assigned opens the revised one. You rebuild nothing, chase no supplier for an updated file, and avoid the stretch where staff are being taught something the building no longer does.

Yes, and that is the part most workplaces miss. Some emergencies are made worse by sending people outside, so the course covers sheltering in place and moving to another floor as alternatives, and explains that the instruction comes from your plan and the people running it on the day.

Yes. Keep it in Sentrient, push it into your learning management system, or serve it from the HRIS. None of those change the course, and each one writes completions back, so reporting does not end up split across two systems.

Pick a person, a team or an entire address, and the chasing happens without you. Overdue names collect on a list that a manager works through. Somebody starting on Monday meets it in their induction instead of waiting months for the next exercise.

Each person carries a completion with a date on it, which you can cut by team, by site or by role. Should an evacuation go wrong, or a drill expose something, the record establishes what people had been told in advance. It stands as proof of the training only, never of how a given day was handled.

Your plan names your exits, your wardens and your assembly points, and your exercises test it. The course supplies the general knowledge both of those assume people already have, so a drill tests the plan rather than teaching the basics again. It replaces neither.

Nearly always our fire safety training course, since fire is the common trigger, and our fire extinguisher training where people may tackle something small. Sites with a formal process add incident reporting training.

It runs in a browser, which covers a phone on site as readily as a desktop. Night shift and people who almost never visit an office complete it where they are, and an interruption costs them nothing because it picks up again at the same point.

No, because the course teaches the procedure rather than one floor plan. Our emergency evacuation training australia coverage means one course across every address, reported site by site. What differs building to building, the exits and the assembly point, is carried by your own plan rather than by us.

The Australian Privacy Principles govern learner records, as the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner applies them to personal information generally. Custody of your people data stays with your organisation, which also sets who is allowed to open completion reporting.

Because you are unlikely to want this on its own. This one goes out with the rest of your workplace compliance courses, on a single schedule into a single record, instead of buying emergency evacuation training courses piecemeal from a fire services contractor running its own portal and its own login.

Anywhere people gather in a building, which covers schools, aged care and disability services, manufacturing, warehousing, health and local government. Sentrient customers include Carinya Society, St Patrick’s Community Support Centre and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School. The Carinya Society case study describes one disability provider’s program.

Pricing is per user, and the quote reflects how many people you have and what else they are being assigned. Those two things move it, which is why there is no number on this page. Raise it at the demo and a figure follows.
