Program Overview
Knowing how to use a fire extinguisher is one of the most fundamental workplace safety skills. Yet many employees freeze in an emergency because they've never been properly trained. ICLM's Fire Extinguisher Use and Maintenance Training ensures that every employee can select the correct extinguisher, operate it under pressure, and maintain it in peak working condition - turning a potential disaster into a controlled response.
Fire extinguishers are the first line of defense against incipient-stage fires. When used correctly and promptly, they prevent small fires from spreading into large, uncontrollable blazes. However, using the wrong type of extinguisher on the wrong class of fire - such as using water on an electrical or chemical fire - can be dangerous or even fatal. Proper training eliminates this risk.
