Warden Instruction

Course Overview

Wardens are an important part of any emergency response plan. As such, it is important to have a well-trained and well-prepared team of wardens who are capable of responding quickly, safely, and effectively to emergency situations.

Wardens are responsible for ensuring the safe evacuation of building occupants, and therefore must understand the evacuation procedure in great detail.
