Fire Extinguisher Safety Training

In fact, in the United States, over 150 fires occur on the job every day. Fires are the third leading cause of accidental death in the country. Even the best fire prevention efforts will not completely eliminate the occurrence of fires in the workplace, which makes it vital to know how to put out fires safely.

It can be easy to take fire extinguishers for granted. Often, they're part of the everyday scenery at work, almost blending into the background. Most people do not how to use one, which can be very fatal. Employees need to know, before an emergency, how to operate a fire extinguisher and how to use the correct fire extinguisher for a certain kind of fire.

The Blueprints for Safety® Fire Extinguisher Program will help your employees do the following

• Learn of potential fire hazards in the workplace.

• Know which type of fire extinguisher is needed for each class of fire.

• Locate and use fire extinguishers in the workplace.

By having a fire extinguishers program in place to provide employee training, you can help make sure that if a fire breaks out, everyone will know how to put it out safely.
