Fire Extinguisher Training Class
Fire Extinguisher Safety and Training Class:
Employers are required to provide fire extinguishers in the workplace by law. Because of this requirement, there is also a requirement to provide fire safety classes and have all employees trained in using fire extinguishers. Our fire extinguisher course covers the principles of using fire extinguishers, the hazards of fire, the types and sizes of fire extinguishers and general safety training. Fire Extinguisher Training is a cornerstone for all safety programs.
You should have our program as part of new employee orientation and you are required to have your employees trained annually. We provide a certification card to each student, the card is good for one year.
We provide on site fire extinguisher use and training. Please see our on-line course in fire extinguishers which is also accepted to meet the requirements of this regulation.
