Fire Extinguisher Training for EICC Staff (1 hour)

Since fire is one of the most common hazards in the workplace, it is important for your employees to know how to properly use a fire extinguisher if a fire should break out. OSHA requires annual fire extinguisher training: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157(g) "Where the employer has provided portable fire extinguishers for employee use in the workplace, the employer shall also provide an educational program to familiarize employees with the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with incipient-stage fire fighting." This program teaches your employees how to calmly and effectively deal with fires and correctly use a fire extinguisher. Trainees are instructed on the classes of fire, the types and applications of fire extinguishers, the fire tetrahedron, fire extinguisher operation, and inspection procedures. Hands-on exercises are included.
