Description
When a workplace emergency strikes, the difference between an orderly evacuation and a chaotic one comes down to preparation, structure, and the competence of the people managing the process.
The INTRA™ Evacuation Marshal training materials give licensed Skills Development Providers, facilitators, and training companies a complete, production-ready facilitation package built on SP-250817, Curriculum Code 900406-000-00-00, NQF Level 2, 2 Credits.
Whether you are delivering this skills programme for the first time or standardising delivery across multiple client sites, the Evacuation Marshal materials remove every preparation obstacle. Every curriculum component satisfies QCTO accreditation requirements, South African legislative obligations under the OHSA and General Safety Regulations, and the operational needs of adult learners across diverse workplace environments.
What Is Included in the Evacuation Marshal Package?
The INTRA™ Evacuation Marshal package is a complete facilitation ecosystem built around four progressive learning phases — Preparing for Emergencies, Managing Evacuations, Activation to Assembly, and Post-Emergency Activity.
Your purchase includes a structured Facilitator Manual with pre-facilitation orientation, Learner Guides, Facilitator Visuals, a Practical Workbook, Practical Module PM-01 with Scenario Cards and Role Cards, a Facilitator Quick Run Sheet, and a Learning Matrix Cross-Reference Table.
Every element maps directly to the QCTO Curriculum Component Specifications in SP-250817, ensuring your Evacuation Marshal delivery is consistent, auditable, and defensible under accreditation review. Optional sections embedded throughout the curriculum give facilitators the flexibility to customise content to specific workplace risk profiles without compromising alignment to the qualification framework.
What the Evacuation Marshal Curriculum Covers
The curriculum takes learners progressively from emergency preparedness theory through hands-on practical application. Below is a breakdown of each phase and its Knowledge Topics.
KT0101: Preparing for Emergencies as an Evacuation Marshal
The first Knowledge Topic establishes the conceptual foundation every Evacuation Marshal learner requires. Learners explore the definition of an emergency, examine typical workplace emergencies across different environments, and review real South African evacuation examples that contextualise the theory in a locally relevant way.
Optional sections extend this foundation to include evacuation route lighting, layout plans, and signage — all critical reference points for a practising Evacuation Marshal conducting pre-emergency inspections.
The legislative backdrop is provided through optional coverage of the OHSA, General Safety Regulation 13J on fire precaution and means of egress, and Environmental Regulation 9, giving learners the regulatory context that defines their obligations.
KT0102: Emergency Preparedness for the Evacuation Marshal Role
KT0102 differentiates between emergency preparedness and emergency response — a distinction that is operationally critical for an Evacuation Marshal who must understand that their role begins long before an alarm sounds.
Learners examine examples of actions appropriate to each phase, building the mental framework to distinguish proactive preparation activities from the reactive response actions required during an actual emergency.
Optional content on marshal PPE and communication equipment equips facilitators to address the physical tools an Evacuation Marshal uses in the field.
KT0103: Managing Evacuations — Roles, Structures, and Assembly
This module sits at the operational core of the Evacuation Marshal skills programme. KT0103 outlines the roles of all stakeholders in emergency preparedness and during a live evacuation, with specific focus on the Emergency Control Centre and safety officer actions at assembly areas.
Learners examine the full Emergency Management Structure, covering stakeholder and control centre roles, the identification and function of the Evacuation Marshal within that structure, and assembly point management including headcount and accountability procedures.
Optional sections extend coverage to marshal identification, route inspections, marshal PPE, and communication equipment — giving facilitators a rich library of supplementary content matched to any client workplace risk profile.
KT0104: Activation to Assembly — Safely Evacuating People
KT0104 covers the principles and step-by-step process of safely evacuating people from the workplace, from the moment an alarm activates through to confirmed assembly and headcount.
Learners examine alarm types, signals, and activation procedures, as well as the management of alarm fatigue — a real operational risk in workplaces where frequent false alarms reduce the urgency of employee response.
Optional content covers evacuating vulnerable persons, common evacuation-related risks, supporting evacuees unable to self-evacuate, escape and exit door management, stair and vertical escape procedures, search, sweep and area clearance techniques, and the full activation-to-assembly route sequence.
Post-emergency optional sections address evacuee control and behaviour, missing persons and escalation, re-entry control and all-clear protocols, communication and reporting, and post-evacuation roles.
Practical Assessment Ready for the Evacuation Marshal Programme
The INTRA™ Evacuation Marshal package includes a complete Practical Module PM-01 with a dedicated Practical Task Matrix, Facilitator Instructions, Facilitator Quick Run Sheet, and Scenario Cards with Role Cards.
Your SDP can move directly from facilitation into a fully structured practical assessment without developing supplementary instruments. The Learning Matrix Cross-Reference Table ensures every practical task maps back to the correct Knowledge Topic, keeping your assessment evidence clean and verifiable.
This level of scaffolding is particularly important for the Evacuation Marshal programme because competence in this role is demonstrated through performance, not only through written assessment. The Scenario Cards allow facilitators to run realistic simulation exercises that replicate a real workplace evacuation, building learner confidence alongside formal competence.
Built for South African Legislative Compliance
Every Evacuation Marshal module is anchored in South African law. The OHSA, General Safety Regulation 13J, and Environmental Regulation 9 are embedded in the curriculum content, not treated as peripheral references.
Learners gain both procedural knowledge and the legal literacy to operate correctly across South African workplaces — from manufacturing facilities and retail environments to office buildings and construction sites.
Training providers who also deliver legal compliance short courses will find the QCTO Evacuation Marshal materials complement the broader INTRA™ Legal Compliance Training Material range, including the FIRETRAC fire prevention and evacuation programme.
