Accredited by SSG: WSQ module [Course Ref Number: TGS-2013501294; Course Code: PI-CP-105E-1]
Through a combination of theory lessons, hands-on drills, and realistic simulations, participants develop the ability to assess risks, operate firefighting equipment, contain chemical spills, and execute coordinated emergency responses.
The course culminates in a WSQ assessment, where trainees must demonstrate both practical skills and theoretical knowledge to earn a Statement of Attainment (SOA)—a recognized certification for Company Emergency Response Team (CERT) members and workplace safety personnel. Ideal for fire safety managers, security staff, and employees handling hazardous substances, this training enhances organizational emergency preparedness while meeting Singapore’s mandatory workplace safety standards.
The WSQ Respond to Fire & Hazmat Emergency (3-Day Training Program) is essential for personnel responsible for workplace safety and emergency response. Key professionals who should attend include:
| 1) | Company Emergency Response Team (CERT) Members. Mandatory for all CERT personnel to comply with SCDF regulations, this program equips teams with hands-on firefighting and hazmat spill response skills for workplace emergencies. |
| 2 | Fire Safety Managers. FSMs and their teams must master advanced firefighting and hazmat response techniques to fulfill SCDF obligations. The program bridges theoretical knowledge with practical drills, reinforcing their role as first responders. |
| 3 | Workplace Safety & Health (WSH) Officers. WSH professionals responsible for risk assessments and emergency planning will learn to integrate fire/hazmat protocols into safety management systems, aligning with WSH Act standards. |
| 4 | Facility & Operations Managers. Managers overseeing industrial plants, warehouses, or labs storing hazardous materials will benefit from scenario-based training to mitigate risks and protect assets during emergencies. |
| 5 | Security & Building Management Personne. Frontline security teams and building operators will enhance their crisis response capabilities, enabling swift action before CERT arrives—critical for high-occupancy premises. |
| 6 | HAZMAT Handlers & Laboratory Staff. Employees working with flammable/chemical substances will learn spill containment, PPE usage, and decontamination procedures to minimize workplace hazards. |
| 7 | New CERT Appointees. Newly assigned emergency responders receive SCDF-recognized certification, equipping them with foundational fire/hazmat skills to perform their roles confidently. |
The course is particularly valuable for organizations that:
✔ Store or handle flammable/chemical materials
✔ Operate in high-risk environments (factories, labs, warehouses)
✔ Need to comply with SCDF’s Fire Code and WSH Act requirements
✔ Seek to improve their emergency response capabilities
Note: Participants should be physically fit to perform firefighting drills and wear PPE.
This training ensures your emergency responders are competent, compliant and confident in handling real workplace crises.
