Emergency Response Team (ERT) Training
Practical 3-day ERT training in Malaysia designed to strengthen workplace emergency response through fire safety management, firefighting equipment use and response drills.
ERT Training Overview
This 3-day programme prepares Emergency Response Team (ERT) members to support an organised response to workplace fire emergencies. Participants develop practical knowledge in fire safety management, firefighting equipment use and emergency response procedures to help them carry out assigned duties safely and effectively during an emergency.
What is an Emergency Response Team (ERT)?
An Emergency Response Team (ERT) is a designated group within a workplace that helps support an organised response when an emergency occurs. ERT members follow the organisation’s emergency response plan and assigned duties, helping with communication, evacuation and other initial response actions while professional emergency services are being contacted.
The role of an ERT may vary depending on workplace risks, emergency procedures and the training provided. ERT training helps team members understand their responsibilities and work together in a coordinated manner during an emergency.
ERT Roles and Responsibilities
The roles and responsibilities of an ERT may vary according to the organisation’s workplace risks, emergency response plan and team structure. Common responsibilities may include:
Support Emergency Communication
Help relay clear and timely information among employees, management and relevant emergency responders during an incident.
Support Evacuation and Accountability
Help guide occupants to designated assembly areas and support procedures for accounting for personnel after evacuation.
Provide First Aid Support
Where trained and assigned, ERT members may provide immediate first aid to injured or affected persons until further medical assistance is available.

Frequently Asked Questions
An Emergency Response Team (ERT) may respond to fires, medical incidents, chemical or gas releases, evacuations and other workplace emergencies. The exact response scope depends on the organisation’s workplace risks, emergency procedures and the training provided to ERT members.
For this programme, the training focuses on fire safety management, firefighting equipment use and practical response drills.
No. An ERT provides the initial workplace response within its assigned roles and training while professional emergency services are contacted. It may support coordination, evacuation and communication during an emergency, but it does not replace BOMBA, medical responders or other emergency authorities.
ERT training can benefit manufacturing and industrial facilities, warehouses and logistics operations, commercial premises, construction sites and other workplaces with identified emergency risks. Each organisation should plan its ERT based on its workplace risks, operational activities and emergency response needs.
ERT Training focuses on preparing Emergency Response Team members for coordinated workplace emergency response, including assigned roles, communication and response duties.
Fire Drill Training focuses more specifically on practising evacuation procedures and testing how occupants and response personnel respond during a fire drill.
An organisation can establish an ERT by:
- Identifying workplace emergency risks
- Developing an emergency response plan and procedures
- Appointing suitable ERT members
- Assigning clear roles and communication responsibilities
- Providing appropriate training and emergency equipment
- Conducting drills and reviewing the emergency plan regularly
