Using Fire Extinguishers in Office Environments

This Interactive course on Using Fire Extinguishers in Office Environments discusses the types of fire extinguishers there are and when they should be used. It also provides practical guidance on how to use a fire extinguisher employing the “P.A.S.S.” method. When a fire happens in an office, often the first thing people do is panic. This can lead to the fire getting out of control and workers being hurt. But it doesn’t have to be that way. When workers know how to use a fire extinguisher to put out small fires before they become big ones, lives can be saved and damage can be minimized. Areas covered in the course include classes of fire and how they burn, extinguisher types… dry chemical and carbon dioxide, extinguisher types… water and foam, using a fire extinguisher, maintaining fire extinguishers, and more.
