Would your team know what to do if an emergency happened today?

A workplace can have the right emergency plans, procedures and equipment in place, but preparedness ultimately comes down to people.

Do they know who their Wardens are? Do they understand what an alarm means? Do they know where to go, what to do and who to take direction from?

Building a culture of safety and preparedness means making emergency readiness part of how your workplace operates. That means clear procedures, regular training, evacuation exercises and giving people the confidence to respond when it matters.

We explore this further in our latest blog, Building a Culture of Safety and Preparedness in the Workplace.

A 28-storey evacuation drill = a lot of moving parts.

Evacuating a multi-level building brings additional considerations: multiple floors and wardens, communication between different areas, evacuation routes, occupant movement and making sure everyone ultimately gets where they need to be.

That's exactly why evacuation exercises matter.

They give Emergency Control Organisations and building occupants the opportunity to put procedures into practice and identify areas that may need improvement before they're dealing with a real emergency.

A great effort from everyone involved in this recent 28-storey evacuation exercise; approaching the exercise as though it were the real thing. That's how you get value from the practice.

Bushfire season is upon us. Is your workplace prepared?

Preparation starts well before there's smoke on the horizon.

Now is the time to look at the practical things you can do to reduce risk around your workplace; clearing leaves and debris, managing vegetation, moving combustible materials away from buildings, and making sure emergency exits, accessways, hydrants and hose reels remain clear.

It's also the time to review your emergency planning.

If your workplace is in a bushfire-prone area, does your team know:
~ Who is responsible for monitoring warnings and local conditions?
~ When operations may need to stop or change?
~ How staff, visitors and contractors will be informed and accounted for?
~ Where to go and which routes to take if evacuation is required?

A few practical decisions made now can remove a lot of uncertainty when conditions change. Review your plan. Prepare your workplace. Make sure your people know what to do.

A Chief Warden carries a lot of responsibility in an emergency.

So, confidence in the role matters.

Sesilia has recently been putting another group of Chief Wardens through their training, helping them better understand their responsibilities, how to coordinate an emergency response and how to confidently lead their Emergency Control Organisation when it matters.

Effective workplace training isn't just about delivering the right information. It's about making sure that information sticks with your staff.

When it comes to emergency management, employees need to be able to recall what they've learned and apply it when it matters.

So, what makes workplace training more effective?

From keeping training relevant to using practical exercises and reinforcing knowledge over time, there are a number of ways organisations can improve the way their teams learn and retain important information.

We've explored some of these strategies in our latest article.

Who takes the lead when there's an emergency in your workplace?

That's where the Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) comes in.

The ECO is the group of people appointed within a workplace to help implement emergency procedures and coordinate the response during an emergency.

Depending on the workplace, this may include roles such as:

Chief Warden > takes control of the workplace response and coordinates the ECO.

Wardens and Area/Floor Wardens > help manage their designated areas, direct occupants and support an orderly evacuation.

First Aiders > provide initial assistance where required while professional emergency services are on their way.

Having people assigned to these roles is only part of the equation. They also need to understand their responsibilities and have the confidence to carry them out.

That's why regular training and exercises are an important part of maintaining an effective Emergency Control Organisation.

Your workplace changes. Your emergency plan needs to change with it.

Emergency plans aren't documents to develop once and file away. They need to remain relevant to your workplace, its people and the risks you may face.

A review may be required when there have been:

→ Changes to the workplace layout, operations or emergency equipment
→ Changes that affect evacuation routes or procedures
→ An emergency, incident or evacuation
→ Learnings identified during an evacuation exercise
→ Changes to key personnel or your Emergency Control Organisation

Your Emergency Planning Committee should also be reviewing the emergency plan and associated procedures as part of its ongoing responsibilities.

Regular reviews provide an opportunity to identify gaps, update procedures and make sure the plan still reflects how your workplace actually operates.

🚨 The alarm sounds. Do your employees know what to do next? 🚨

A workplace emergency isn't the time to be figuring out the evacuation procedure.

When an evacuation is required, employees should:

1. Stay calm and stop what they're doing.
2. Listen for instructions and follow the directions of Wardens and Emergency Control Organisation personnel.
3. Leave the building using the designated evacuation route and nearest safe exit.
4. Don't use lifts unless specifically instructed to do so.
5. Proceed directly to the nominated assembly area.
6. Remain at the assembly area and follow further instructions.

Regular training and evacuation exercises help turn these steps into a familiar process, so employees understand their role before they're faced with a real emergency.

Emergency training needs to work around your workplace, not the other way around.

Recently, our team was on-site late into the evening delivering warden training for employees working outside standard business hours.

For workplaces operating across multiple shifts, scheduling training during the day isn't always practical, and it can mean some employees miss out on important emergency preparedness.

Our team can deliver training at a time that suits your operations, helping ensure the right people across your workforce are prepared to respond in an emergency.

Is your team due for warden or evacuation training? Get in touch to discuss a tailored training program.
