A colleague collapses in a meeting room.
Someone calls emergency services, but the team must also locate the AED, clear access, meet the ambulance and keep reliable information moving.
WERGS connects realistic workplace emergency training with clear, site-specific response guidance. From an office medical emergency to a factory or electrical incident, teams practise what could happen in their workplace, reveal gaps and improve.
Built for practical workplace readiness—not tick-box training.
When pressure rises, people can hesitate, forget critical actions or struggle to find the right information. Traditional documents and one-off training often sit separately, so the workplace never closes the loop between what people practise and what they need during a real response.
WERGS scenarios are built around the environment, people and hazards a team could genuinely face.
Someone calls emergency services, but the team must also locate the AED, clear access, meet the ambulance and keep reliable information moving.
The team must recognise the continuing danger, control the area, coordinate isolation, obtain emergency assistance and prepare for handover.
Vehicle movement, bystanders, casualty care, site access and emergency-service directions all need coordinated decisions.
The team must recognise that danger may remain, prevent an unsafe approach, coordinate isolation, escalate and support a controlled handover.
The scenario changes to suit the workplace. The essential response behaviours remain consistent.
The Universal 10 are ten essential response behaviours observed in every WERGS exercise. They stay the same so workplaces can compare different scenarios and repeat training without moving the benchmark.
The emergency-specific actions still change. An office medical emergency, factory plant incident and electrical event require different approved procedures. The Universal 10 do not replace those procedures; they show whether the team can recognise, coordinate, communicate and maintain control around them.
Two connected sides, one practical readiness system.
Teams practise realistic scenarios. A Facilitator observes what they achieve independently, when they need a probe and what is not achieved.
Site-specific response pages, cards and guidance put critical information where people can reach it quickly.
“Training shows where support is needed. Response guidance supports those decisions. Then the team trains again to test the improvement.”
WERGS is designed for ongoing access—not a one-off exercise or document purchase. The library can expand as workplace risks and lessons evolve, while controlled content and human judgement remain central.
Under Australian model WHS requirements, duty holders must prepare and maintain an emergency plan, test emergency procedures, and provide relevant workers with information, training and instruction.
Review the official Safe Work Australia guidanceImportant: WERGS supports emergency preparedness, training and continuous improvement. It does not replace a workplace-specific emergency plan, risk assessment, emergency-service consultation, competent professional advice or compliance with applicable laws.
We are seeking a small number of pilot workplaces to test the method, improve the experience and measure practical response behaviours. Submit your interest and WERGS will contact you to discuss suitability and scope.
