ComSafe Fire Safety Course for OOSH Staff
ComSafe are holding 3 public OOSH courses to be held in Greenacre site at a cost of $65 + GST per person for the 2 hour course. The course covers Fire Prevention, Practical First Attack Firefighting and Workplace Evacuation - Course No 5012. It can also be booked for a private group for a cost of $890.00 + GST.
It has been over a period of quite a few years now that the consultation between ComSafe Training Services (NSW Fire Brigades) and Network of Community Activities has resulted in valuable training for carers in the Outside School Hours Services industry.
The training has been conducted all over the state. The fact that all of ComSafe's trainers are also operational fire fighters, has meant that much value has been added in the way of experience,practicality,identifying risks,providing alternatives to site specific risks etc.
Carers often express their appreciation for the training ,which has given them more knowledge and confidence in their future response to emergencies involving them and the precious little ones in their care.
No doubt this valuable program will continue in the future and benefit many others,even if the skills acquired are used in a home environment or other setting.
The dates are scheduled as follows:
- Friday 26 February
- Wednesday 19 May
- Tuesday 24 August
All courses are 11am - 1pm and held at ComSafe Training Centre, Amarina Ave, Greenacre.
ComSafe would also be happy to schedule regional courses if there is enough interest.
For any questions, please call 1800 78 78 48.
