An ECO's priority is the safety of facility occupants and visitors during an emergency which means ECO members are responsible for pre-emergency, emergency and post emergency actions. It includes undertake pre-emergency planning, taking appropriate actions in an emergency and assisting with post emergency activities.

Where requested to conduct the training on site at your facility or workplace, we will require a 'Workplace Facilities Training Checklist' to be completed prior to the course so our CJTS Trainer/ Assessor can equip and ready themselves using your emergency response procedures.
Where your procedures are under review or not available, CJTS do have samples that can be used in place of your own.
