The Ultimate Guide to Fire Safety and Fire Protection Training in Perth

Haz-Ed

8 July 2026

If there’s a fire at work today, would you know how to help fight it?

If you know what to do during the first five minutes of a fire, it’s often possible to contain it and prevent it from becoming a full-blown emergency.

But preparation goes beyond knowing how to use fire extinguishers. Depending on your work environment, the skills you need may include emergency response, managing evacuation, and even maintaining fire protection systems.

Haz-Ed is a long-standing provider of workplace fire safety training for individuals and organisations across Western Australia. Our safety experts understand the damage fire can do in minutes.

There’s more at stake than property. Lives are also at stake.

That’s why we deliver extensive fire response training. These courses provide students with practical skills that can be applied across a wide range of industries.

How to choose the right Fire Safety Training Course

What class should I take? We get asked about this a lot, and the answer depends on your job and career goals.

In a small office, basic fire response awareness might suffice. But in high-risk environments, such as mining operations or industrial facilities, you’ll probably need more specialised training.

Before enrolling, ask yourself:

• What kind of fire emergency are you most likely to encounter?
• What’s your role at work?
• Would hands-on exercises with firefighting equipment be better, or is online training enough?
• Would a blended program that offers both be more appropriate?

When selecting a training provider, ensure you’re dealing with a local Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that delivers nationally accredited courses that meet the latest workplace health and safety standards.

Responding to small workplace fires: Demonstrate First Attack Firefighting Equipment

If you saw fire extinguishers of different coloured bands, would you know which one to use?

The Demonstrate First Attack Firefighting Equipment course is designed for employees who may need to act as the first line of defence before emergency services arrive. This course teaches you how to assess fire situations, select the right firefighting equipment, and use it safely.

Participants also learn fire behaviour and development, fire classifications, extinguisher selection, and the safe operation of first attack firefighting equipment.

For emergency response and evacuation teams: Undertake First Response to Fire Incidents

For teams responsible for responding to workplace emergencies and coordinating evacuations, the Undertake First Response to Fire Incidents course provides lessons to help you act quickly and effectively.

You’ll learn how to identify fire emergencies and communicate and follow correct procedures in an emergency. You’ll receive tips from industry experts that will help you carry out your responsibilities more confidently.

This training can also help emergency response personnel fulfill their responsibilities.

Advanced fire response training for high-risk workers in Perth: Conduct Fire Team Operations

Some workplaces require additional skills to manage more complex fire events.

In the Conduct Fire Team Operations course, trainees learn about conditions affecting fire spread. They gain the knowledge to identify different types of fire classes and apply proper firefighting tactics. They also get to experience using a wide range of firefighting equipment.

If you work on industrial sites, mines or in remote locations, this course helps ensure there’s a trained in-house staff ready to provide emergency response.
