General Evacuation First Response Instruction (GEFRI)

Laurie Johansen QBCC 1070918 • November 12, 2025

Did you know?

Under the Building Fire Safety Regulations 2008, all staff must receive General Evacuation First Response Instruction (GEFRI) within two days of starting work and refreshed annually. This essential training ensures every worker knows how to raise the alarm, contact emergency services, locate exits and identify assembly areas – giving them the confidence to act quickly and safely.

How RPS Fire delivers this:

At RPS Fire, we understand that every facility operates differently. That’s why we tailor our GEFRI training to reflect your workplace’s specific layout, procedures and risk profile. Our experienced fire safety technicians don’t just tick compliance boxes – they create an interactive learning experience that helps your team feel empowered and prepared. We ensure your organisation meets all legal requirements while promoting a genuine culture of safety.
