Overview
This Fire Extinguisher training covers the theory and practical elements of fire safety.
Fire extinguisher training is suitable for all workplace roles, from Health & Safety Managers to reception staff.
It is particularly valuable for individuals who have never used a fire extinguisher or been required to put out a fire. The skills gained are highly transferable to a home environment.
A fire is a potential hazard in a place of work and therefore having people adequately trained in the proper use of fire handling & equipment would be a suitable control, to manage that risk.
Attendees will learn;
- The principles & science of fire.
- The classes of fire and fire suppression techniques.
- Use of dry powder fire extinguishers & hose.
- How to use a fire extinguishing medium on a fire.
- How to have the confidence and ability to safely respond to a small fire in the workplace.
Attendees will receive a competency certificate upon completion of course.
