Overview
Fire Warden course overview
IMPAC’s focus is on building capable people who can lead and support evacuations in a calm and effective way. Participants leave with a clear understanding of their responsibilities, the confidence to take action when it matters, and access to an IMPAC pocket guide to support them in their role. They step back into the workplace ready to apply their skills in an emergency to support safe, well-managed evacuations.
