Fire extinguishers are one of the most reliable ways to put out fires in the workplace. Fire extinguishers are not a requirement, but if employers choose to provide them they must train workers in general fire extinguisher use to comply with OSHA standards. OSHA states that if employers expect workers to use the fire extinguishers themselves, hands-on training must be provided. This Fire Exstinguisher Safety Course covers the basics of fire extinguisher operation, including identifying different types of fire extinguishers, understanding fire classifications, proper usage techniques (the “PASS” method: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep), recognizing when it's safe to use an extinguisher, potential hazards associated with improper use, and how to select the appropriate extinguisher for a specific fire situation, all with a focus on prioritizing personal safety during a fire emergency.
