Emergency Preparedness

Chief Warden Training

In an emergency situation strong leadership is an essential element to either aiding in containing the emergency or providing direction for a smooth evacuation of the area or building. Many people who are placed with this responsibility in many cases have little or no training with emergency systems or equipment. This training module is designed as an additional training module for those people responsible for assuming the role of chief warden during an emergency situation.

Training and World Crisis Solutions provides chief warden training to many building managers in the following areas:

• Site specific emergency procedures.
• Instruction in the site specific emergency systems installed in the building.
• Effects of high stress situations on the human body.
• Co-ordination and crowd control in an emergency situation
