Description
Fires start small and may be extinguished by well-trained, knowledgeable employees using the proper equipment. Without training, there is a much greater risk of the fire spreading and/or employees being injured by improper utilization of the extinguisher. The safe operation of portable fire extinguishers is a company’s first line of defense to protect the staff and facility in the event of a fire. The objective of our Fire Extinguisher Training is to inform, simulate and provide confidence to employees in the safe and effective use of fire extinguishers in the workplace.
