What You Will Learn Through Our Fire Safety Workshop
Taking a course on fire safety promotes the development of effective safety procedures in any industry. When you complete a fire safety class, you can rest easy knowing that you and your employees know exactly what to do in an emergency to prevent damage and save lives.
Identifying Fire Hazards
The first step in preventing workplace fires is to identify and address potential fire hazards. We will teach you how to identify potential fire hazards in the workplace so that you can take steps to mitigate them. Some of the most common fire hazards include:
Flammable or combustible materials
Electrical equipment and wiring
Poorly maintained or blocked fire exits
Dust and debris
Eliminating Fire Risks
In addition to learning how to identify fire hazards, you will also learn about the steps you can take to address them. Some of the most effective ways to address fire hazards include:
Conducting regular inspections of the workplace
Eliminating flammable materials or ensuring proper storage
Ensuring electrical equipment and wiring are up to code
Keeping fire exits clear of obstructions
Implementing a housekeeping policy to prevent clutter build-up
Teaching your employees to be aware of their surroundings and how to recognize risks are key elements of effective fire prevention.
Detecting a Fire
One of the most important aspects of fire safety is early fire detection. The sooner a fire is detected, the easier it is to extinguish and the less damage it will cause. Some of the signs that a fire might be present include:
Smoke or an unusual smell
Flickering lights
Sparks or flames
An increase in room temperature
Using Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are a key part of any fire safety plan. Learning how to use one is critical information that can help you control or extinguish a small fire before it has a chance to spread.
There are different types of fire extinguishers for different types of fires. It is important to know which type of fire extinguisher to use for each type of fire.
There are several different classes of fire extinguishers, each designed for a specific type of fire. There are five classes used for different types of fires:
Class A: Combustible materials such as wood, paper, and cloth
Class B: Flammable liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, and oil
Class C: Electrical equipment
Class D: Combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, and aluminum
Class K: Cooking oils and fats
How to Use a Fire Extinguisher
When using a fire extinguisher, remember the acronym PASS:
P - Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher
A - Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire
S - Squeeze the handle to release the extinguisher agent
S - Sweep the nozzle from side to side until the fire is extinguished
Maintaining Fire Protection Systems and Alarms
Protection systems such as sprinklers and alarms are critical to keeping your workplace safe. We will show you how to properly maintain these systems so that they will be ready to operate in the event of an emergency.
We offer fire alarm training as well as installation, inspections, and maintenance to ensure your protective system works the way it should. Learning how to use and maintain an alarm system can be immensely valuable in helping your staff stay safe.
Running an Effective Fire Drill
One of the best ways to ensure your employees are prepared for a fire is to conduct regular drills. We will conduct fire drill training for employees to help you plan and execute an effective drill so that your employees know what to do in the event of an actual emergency.
Putting Evacuation Plans in Place
Having an evacuation plan in place before an emergency situation occurs is critical. Being prepared ensures that everyone knows what to do and where to go so that your employees can keep themselves and your customers safe. We can help you develop an evacuation plan tailored to your specific workplace.
When developing an evacuation plan, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
Identify all possible exits
Designate a meeting place outside of the building
Make sure everyone knows the plan
Practice the plan regularly
