V. Fire Extinguisher Training
Fire Extinguisher Training involves instructing personnel on the proper use of fire extinguishers in accordance with OSHA regulations. This training focuses on recognizing different types of fires, selecting the correct extinguishing agent, and operating an extinguisher safely. Participants learn how to identify Class A, B, and C fires, understand the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep), and practice discharging an extinguisher while maintaining a safe distance from the fire source. The training also covers common hazards associated with fire extinguishers, such as over-pressurization and improper storage, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure proper functioning. Proper completion of this training is required for all personnel who may encounter a fire emergency in the workplace.
