Frequently asked questions

How much does Emergency Evacuation Training cost?

The course costs R650 per learner and runs for one day. Group bookings are negotiable. We train online, on site at your premises, or at our centres in Midrand and Durban. Daily classes mean you can book and start without waiting. Email info@rehtraining.co.za to book or ask about group rates.

Who should attend evacuation training?

Every employee benefits, but the course is essential for the people appointed to manage evacuations, such as fire marshals, wardens and floor monitors. It is also useful for building managers and supervisors who must account for staff during an emergency. The training is practical, so delegates practise the steps of an evacuation rather than just hearing about them.

Do we need evacuation training by law?

Yes, employers in South Africa have duties under the OHS Act to plan for emergencies and to prepare employees to respond, including fire and evacuation arrangements. Training your staff and appointing people to manage evacuations helps you meet those duties. This one-day course covers the practical side of planning and running an evacuation.

Can you train at our site?

Yes. On-site training is a good fit for evacuation courses because your team can practise in the actual building, using your exits, assembly points and procedures. We also offer online and centre-based training at our Midrand and Durban centres. Group pricing is negotiable. Email info@rehtraining.co.za with your premises details for a quote.
