Fire Safety Training
Online NDIS Training for Disability Support Workers
- Disability Support
Course overview
Workplace fires are uncommon, but when one happens the first few minutes shape the outcome. This online fire safety training course gives every disability support worker, supervisor, and service provider the awareness, language, and confidence to act safely.
The course covers how fire behaves, the classes of fire, and the shared duty of care between employers, workers, contractors, and visitors under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. Learners work through practical prevention, fire detection and suppression equipment, the RACE and P.A.S.S. techniques, evacuation procedures, helping people who need additional support, and what to do after an incident.
A certificate of completion is issued at the end.
