Summary

Summary:

Training in proper fire extinguisher use is essential in the event you discover a fire in your workplace or at home. 

While this class provided basic education on the proper use of fire extinguishers, don’t use one until you’ve had actual hands-on practice in a training session. Your employer may then designate you to use fire extinguishers in your workplace. 

Talk with your employer to learn more about the policies in place at your company. 

You should now be able to:

• Identify the different classes of fires and determine when to use each type of fire extinguisher
• List all parts of a fire extinguisher
• Identify precautions that must be taken before using a fire extinguisher
• Demonstrate how to extinguish a fire using the PASS technique
