Our new Fire Safety and Extinguisher Course incorporates all of the training information required by OSHA
and a fire simulator portion in which participants can practice extinguishing simulated fires that can be controlled by the instructor(s).
This allows for safe practice of the material without exposing participants to live flames, dangerous smoke and fumes and the elements.
The fires are electronic images and extinguishers are simply pressurized with air. We can also customize the simulator to include
pictures of your facility or an image of a moving fire can be projected on any location within your building. This allows for
the training to be tailored to your specific needs while keeping everyone in a safe environment.
Training
includes information on: Types and Classifications of Fire, Fire Behavior, Types and Uses of Extinguishers, When to Fight a
Fire vs. Fleeing a Fire, Evacuation Procedures, How to Properly Use an Extinguisher, OSHA Requirements, Training Requirements and
Maintenance and Inspection of Fire Extinguishers, Fire Safety Tips and Recommendations, Hands on Training.
