ENHANCE YOUR CERT
COMPETENCY WITH
Since the gazette of the Fire Safety (Petroleum & Flammable Materials) Regulations in
2005 and introduction of Company Emergency Response Team (CERT) requirements, a
significant number of people in the workplaces have been trained to handle fire & other
workplace emergencies.
Timely intervention within the first few minutes of an incident is critical and often
determined the outcome of the whole incident. A high number of workplace emergencies
were effectively brought by under control by CERT before SCDF arrival. This has
heightened the awareness within the business communities in recognizing the
importance of having an effective Emergency Response Team on site.
A-CERTS Training & Education
The A-CERTS arm of Training &
Education is represented by approved
training providers who are
experienced local fire & safety
professionals, fire service instructors
and emergency response specialists
and engineers with the best local
practices in mind.
A-CERTS is an Approved Training
Organisation (ATO) under Workforce
Development Agency (WDA) to deliver
the Workforce Skills Qualifications
(WSQ) training.
With the growing pool of trained emergency responders across all industries, an idea was
mooted to establish a network and a platform for this unique community to come together
and share their experiences.
It is also with this aim that A-CERTS will
continually identify relevant training and services
delivered by the team of accredited providers that
will improve and enhance the preparedness of
CERT through development.
CERT – The First Defence to Emergencies
The importance of a competent Company Emergency Response Team (CERT) can never be underlooked as they are your first
defence to emergencies to protect the lives of your organisation. Only learning from the true practitioners can improve the
competencies of your CERT members. Our instructors besides being experienced practitioners, are also locals with global
exposure so that while they are able to deliver in the local lingo and understand the local regulations and incidents right to the
nib, they are also able to share the best benchmarks of other countries.
