Undertake first response to fire incidents - MSMWHS212

This unit is part of the Manufacturing Training Package. It covers the skills and knowledge required to undertake an appropriate first response to fire incidents in onshore and offshore situations/emergencies. People working, operating or who regularly travel to an onshore or offshore hydrocarbon/petrochemical installation or facility or major hazard facility may require this competency. It applies to operators who are required to respond to fires in the workplace (other than evacuating to the assembly point). It covers the first response (only) to fire, and does not include aggressive fire-fighting. Typically this response would be undertaken to contain/extinguish a minor fire or to contain a more major fire until external help arrives (for an urban plant) or to allow for mobilisation of more highly trained responders or evacuation (for a remote/offshore plant).
