Our approach
+IMPAC's Fire Warden Refresher (Pre-recorded Webinar) training approach
IMPAC delivers this fire warden refresher training as a focused online learning experience built around the decisions wardens need to make when an alarm sounds. Rather than repeating policy wording, the training focuses on the practical parts of the role, including recognising hazards, understanding evacuation requirements, communicating clearly, and supporting a safe, organised response.
The webinar reinforces where evacuations can break down, such as delayed responses, unclear handovers, and gaps in accountability. The focus stays on what matters: judgement, coordination, and confidence so learners can apply the refresher directly in their own workplace.

Frequently asked questions
No, this refresher is for learners who already hold Unit Standard 18408. If someone is new to the role, they should complete initial fire warden training so they can first build the knowledge and confidence needed to carry out evacuation duties properly.
IMPAC recommends refresher training at least every two years to help fire wardens maintain confidence in emergency procedures and evacuation responsibilities. Some workplaces, clients, or industry requirements may expect more frequent refresher training. While there is no fixed legal refresher requirement, organisations still need to ensure emergency roles remain effective in practice.
Yes, learners should already hold the relevant unit standards before attending this refresher. Learners will only be refreshed against the unit standards they currently hold.
Yes. This refresher is delivered online as a pre-recorded webinar through IMPAC’s LMS. Learners can complete the training at their own pace while reviewing evacuation procedures, communication responsibilities, and core fire warden duties.

Yes, this pre-recorded webinar refresher includes one assessment to confirm learners can still carry out fire warden responsibilities and respond appropriately during workplace emergencies.
No. This refresher does not award a new NZQA unit standard. It is designed for learners who already hold Unit Standard 18408 and need to refresh their knowledge and workplace response capability.
The course revisits the practical duties fire wardens need to carry out during drills and real evacuations. Learners refresh their understanding of evacuation requirements, communication under pressure, accounting for people, hazard awareness, and how to support a coordinated response when an emergency occurs.
IMPAC recommends that fire wardens complete refresher training at least every two years to maintain confidence with evacuation procedures, communication responsibilities, and emergency response expectations. Some clients, sites, or industry requirements may require more frequent refresher training depending on workplace risks, staffing changes, or emergency arrangements.
No. Training supports your wardens but does not replace your workplace emergency plan or evacuation procedures. PCBUs still need suitable emergency arrangements in place, and refresher training helps those involved understand their role and respond more effectively when needed.
