Fire Extinguisher Training
Training
Fires start small and may be extinguished by well-trained, knowledgeable employees using the proper equipment. The safe operation of portable fire extinguishers is your first line of defense in protecting your people and property in the event of a fire.
The objective of our Fire Extinguisher Training is to inform, demonstrate and provide confidence to employees in the safe and effective use of fire extinguishers in the workplace.
