Do I need General Occupancy Training?

The QLD Building Fire Safety Regulations 2008 and Australian Standards 3745-2010 requires all staff to be trained in General Evacuation Instructions or General Occupant Training every year.

This General Occupant training course satisfies those mandatory WHS training requirements in Queensland. Within our General Occupancy training, employees learn the knowledge and skills required to appropriately react in the event of a workplace emergency, following the response protocol and evacuation procedures set out by your emergency control organisation. Within this training program every year, your team will learn the essential response measures in the case of a workplace fire, evacuation or other common workplace emergencies. When it comes to workplace emergencies, knowledge is the power that equips your team members to respond in a way that will help ensure their safety and wellbeing, while ticking off your compliance.

Common sense approach

I have been working in shopping centres for the past 13 years and this was the best fire training I have ever received. It was extremely practical and wonderful to have a common sense approach to dealing with evacuations and fire procedures..

Outstanding Service

I decided to use Austfirepro because of their detailed and prompt response to my initial query. This outstanding service initially carried through to their service delivery. I dealt mainly with Tracey, who was outstanding. Every query was answered, not only on time but with a lot of detail (this extends to everyone else I dealt with while Tracey was on leave). Would absolutely recommend this company to anyone.

Fire Safety Adviser Course conducted by Australian Fire Protection I recently completed the fire safety course conducted by Tim from Australian Fire Protection, and it was an outstanding experience. Tim has a remarkable ability to make the subject both engaging and easy to understand. He shared numerous real-life examples that not only captured everyone’s attention but also helped connect the theory to practical, everyday situations. The session was highly interactive, with participants encouraged to share their own experiences. This created a collaborative learning environment and helped reinforce the key concepts. Thanks to Tim’s clear explanations and the open discussions, I walked away with a thorough understanding of the course content and a much greater confidence in handling fire safety situations. A truly valuable and well-delivered course — highly recommended.
