Why operator training matters
Ardent systems play a critical role in protecting people, plant, vehicles, and infrastructure in high-risk operating environments. However, their effectiveness depends on operators and maintenance teams understanding how those systems work and how to respond when incidents occur.
Comprehensive operator training builds awareness of common safety and fire risks across machinery and vehicles, supports correct system use, and ensures personnel know how to carry out routine checks and take appropriate action. This knowledge helps reduce operational risk, protect critical assets, improve compliance, and minimise unplanned downtime- supporting safer, more resilient operations.
Empowering people through training and partnership
At Ardent, we believe effective safety starts with people. That’s why our training approach is built around empowering local workforces with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to operate safely in demanding environments.
We work in close partnership with our customers to understand their operations, risks, and responsibilities. This allows us to deliver training that is practical, relevant, and aligned to real working conditions- supporting operators, maintenance teams, and site personnel in doing their jobs safely and effectively.
By investing in local capability, we help organisations reduce reliance on external intervention, improve day-to-day safety performance, and build long-term resilience. This partnership-led approach supports safer operations, stronger compliance, and a shared commitment to doing the right thing for people, assets, and the environments in which we operate.
How our operator training helps
Our fire suppression systems are designed to detect and suppress fires automatically. However, we recognise that basic training on how to operate the systems manually and what to do if a fire ignites plays an important part in fire suppression success rates and keeping people safe. This is why we’re committed to providing the best training and support in the industry.
Overall, our operator training includes:
- How fires start - common sources of fire on plant and equipment
- Fire prevention best practices
- Visual fire suppression system checks
- What to do in the event of a fire
- Automatic and manual system operation
