Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not receiving notifications for upcoming training in my building.
There are 4 possible reasons why you are not receiving notifications for upcoming training:
1. You are not currently registered as a warden. If you would like to nominate to be a warden, update your details or resign as a warden, contact your tenancy’s Tenant Responsible Person (TRP) and they will update the list accordingly. The TRP is the person responsible for ensuring warden lists are kept up to date in your business. Click here for more information.
2. Your building or Tenancy has requested that we do not send you notifications. Please contact your TRP for more information on this.
3. Your internal IT system is blocking our emails.
We use Gmail to send our notifications as Gmail is widely recognised as safe by internal IT systems. On some occasions, however, Gmail does get blocked by spam filters etc.
If you believe this to be the case, contact your IT department and ask them to allow emails using the following details:
Email sent from: EvacServices Notifications <noreply@evacgroup.com.au>

I can't attend the scheduled training - what do I do?
If you have received a notification of upcoming training and are unable to attend, you need to advise your tenancy’s Tenant Responsible Person (TRP). The TRP is the person responsible for ensuring warden lists are kept up to date in your business. Click here for more information.
Please be aware that every person in the business needs to undertake training relevant to their role. General Occupants are required to undertake general occupant training at least once every 12 months. Wardens must undertake training at least 6 monthly.
Can someone attend training on my behalf?
Wardens may wish to send another person to training on their behalf. This will mean however, that the person you send will become a warden and you will need to resign as a warden if your training is not current. Your TRP will need to ensure that the Warden lists reflect this.
I'm no longer a warden and need to be removed from the list / My role in EvacConnect is not correct.
If you would like to nominate to be a warden, update your details or resign as a warden, contact your tenancy’s Tenant Responsible Person (TRP) and they will update the list accordingly.
The TRP is the person responsible for ensuring warden lists are kept up to date in your business.

I'm a tenant in a building that you look after and need to update my warden lists.
If you are a client of EvacServices, or a tenant within a building that is managed by EvacServices, you have complimentary access to manage your warden lists online using EvacConnect. This service allows you to keep your warden lists up to date and report on the compliance status of your wardens.
Please note that we use the lists kept on EvacConnect to notify wardens of upcoming training.
How do the Warden Lists on EvacConnect Work?
Each site is nominated a Facility Responsible Person (FRP), and a Tenant Responsible Person (TRP) for each tenancy within the building. The FRP is responsible for ensuring the building as a whole has appropriate warden coverage, and the individual TRPs are responsible for ensuring the wardens in your areas are appropriate.
If you would like to nominate to be a warden, update your details or resign as a warden, contact your tenancy’s TRP and they will update the list accordingly.
If you are the FRP or TRP for your site and do not have access to EvacConnect, let us know here and we will set you up.
The FRP can do the following in EvacConnect:
– Manage warden lists
– Run compliance reports for the building
A TRP can do the following in EvacConnect:
– Add additional TRPs for your site
– Add, delete and manage wardens
– Run compliance reports for your tenancy
My business deserves more than just ticking the compliance box - what is considered best practice?
There are a number of things that, as a business, you can be doing to improve emergency planning initiatives at your site. At its core, the underlying attitude towards emergency planning needs to be embedding within a broader positive safety culture, which should be evident throughout the business.
We at EvacServices have spent a significant amount of time working with buildings and businesses to achieve and maintain 100% compliance. As part of this experience, we’ve worked with businesses to improve lacking safety attitudes, and also worked with brand new buildings in setting up and maintaining compliance management programs.
