Fire Prevention Safety Training

Importance of Fire Prevention Safety Training in the Workplace

Workplace fires destroy property, shut down operations and put lives at risk, but most of them start from preventable causes: poor housekeeping, faulty electrical equipment, improper storage of flammables and unsupervised hot work. OSHA requires fire prevention plans (29 CFR 1910.39) and, where employees are expected to use portable fire extinguishers, training when they’re hired and at least once a year after that (29 CFR 1910.157). Our Fire Prevention and Safety training video covers the types of fires that can occur in a workplace, how to prevent them and how to respond if one starts.

Choose the fire prevention training video for your setting, including industrial facilities, healthcare, office, construction and transportation and warehouse environments. When a fire does start, Using Fire Extinguishers teaches the PASS technique and when to evacuate instead, with versions such as industrial environments. Welding and cutting are a major cause of industrial fires, so add Hot Work Safety and the Permitting Process, and lab staff should take Flammables and Explosives in the Laboratory. Pair this training with your emergency planning and evacuation training.

The healthcare, industrial and office fire prevention courses, the industrial extinguisher course, Hot Work Safety and HAZWOPER: Fire Prevention are available in English and Spanish, and the rest in English. Deliver them through Unlimited Interactive Online Training, run annual extinguisher refreshers with Unlimited Safety Video Streaming, or order safety DVDs and USBs.
