Course Details
Course Overview
The Confine Small Emergencies in a Facility course provides you with the skills and knowledge required to confine small emergencies in a facility and it applies to occupants who are required to have first attack firefighting skills.
It includes preparing for emergency situations, identifying and assessing an emergency, safely confining emergencies, using initial response equipment and reporting on the facility's emergency response.
Small emergencies in a facility include incidents such as small fires that can be controlled using a fire extinguisher; chemical spills that can be controlled using facility personal protective clothing and equipment and a spill kit; or a vehicle accident where there is no significant injury or damage.
All aspects of the unit must be undertaken in line with legislative requirements, organisational policies and procedures, and accepted safe work practices.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
