Fire Extinguisher Training (Using Fire Extinguishers) Every year fires cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and result in hundreds of employee injuries, even death if the proper precautions aren't taken. Teach your employees the proper way to use a fire extinguisher with this informative video.
Figures from the National Fire Protection Association show that each year, some 85,000 fires occur in the workplace, causing an annual average of 89 deaths to employees and customers and a massive $1.856 billion in direct property damage. And, that does not consider indirect costs. Like preparing a new product for sale or closing the book on a quarter, preventing a fire - or safely containing one - takes planning. Steps include easily accessible fire extinguishers, proper housekeeping and maintenance, broadly communicated, and practiced, evacuation plans, equipment shutdown, notification of authorities, and familiarity with the type of items that might burn and release toxins. Help your employees understand their role in a fire emergency by selecting from among the following fire safety training videos/DVDs and CD-ROMs. To get your fire safety training program started off right you should take a look at Complete Fire Prevention Library On DVD. You'll get six titles for one great price on this DVD that include teaching materials and reproducible reference guides for group training.

Portable fire extinguishers can be an effective early response to a developing fire, if they are installed and used properly. In this section, we are going to review general information about the placement and spacing of portable fire extinguishers. If employees use portable fire extinguishers to fight small fires, they must be installed in all areas of the workplace. To ensure each area is protected properly, OSHA recomends you ask yourself the following questions:
What does OSHA require of employers? Where extinguishers are provided but are not intended for employee use and the employer has an emergency action plan and a fire prevention plan that meet the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.38, then only the requirements of the inspection, maintenance and testing and hydrostatic testing sections apply [29 CFR 1910.157(a)].
