(latest NCVER data)Fire preparedness training, built into MARF028 Follow procedures to minimise and fight fires on board a vessel, helps vessel crews prevent fires through good housekeeping and respond quickly and safely when one breaks out at sea. It is a sensible scope choice for RTOs whose maritime learners are working toward AMSA near coastal certificates, and MARF028 training materials support both the theory and the practical drills involved.
Learners develop skills in identifying and reporting fire hazards, checking firefighting equipment, participating in drills and musters, identifying fire classes, using extinguishing media, fire blankets and hose lines, conducting boundary cooling and supporting fire watch and post-fire operations.
Get our MARF028 RTO training materials and avoid writing shipboard firefighting content and drill records internally. Purchase RTO materials and give trainers MARF028 training resources that cover prevention through to debrief.
Your MARF028 training materials bring together learner content, trainer support and assessment documents for minimising and fighting fires on board a vessel. Purchase RTO materials and start with MARF028 learning materials prepared for theory and practical drills.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these MARF028 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your MARF028 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
MARF028 Follow procedures to minimise and fight fires on board a vessel covers applying defined policies and procedures to minimise fire risks and fight a fire on board a vessel. It applies to deck and engine room crew on vessels up to 100 metres and with propulsion power up to 3000 kW within the exclusive economic zone.
The unit addresses five core areas:
The assessment tools include practical tasks for applying dry chemical powder and water, using a fire blanket and operating hose lines. Your team must arrange suitable fire training facilities and supervision to collect this evidence safely.
This unit is one of the requirements for several AMSA near coastal certificates under Marine Order 505. Learners seeking certification should confirm current requirements with AMSA.
The Learner Guide covers fire chemistry and the classes of fire under Australian and New Zealand Standards, along with the extinguishing media suited to each class.
Yes. The editable files let your team add vessel fire plans, alarm signals and closure systems where contextualisation is permitted. The materials are developed as compliant learning resources, but adapted content should still be validated.
No. The unlimited student licence covers all enrolled learners, subject to the applicable licence conditions.
