We can help teach and provide on-site staff with fire extinguisher training and certification, to better help them deal with small fires and other issues that may occur in your workplace.

Becoming familiar with other fire safety systems, in addition to the use of a fire extinguisher is imperative throughout various buildings today. Understanding the locations and use of a standpipe hose cabinet, high rise and industrial hose reels, firefighter telephone use, pull station locations and accessing the fire alarm panels and equipment will all be included be our fire extinguisher training seminars as well. We also offer combined training in Spill Response as part of our seminar and course selection. Inquire for more details on this option.

Our fire extinguisher operation seminars will combine theory and hands-on training. You will learn how to identify the different types of fires, what fuels them, how to select the right extinguisher, and how to use an extinguisher properly.

Things to consider, before you even think about fighting a small fire:

• Know how to use a fire extinguisher correctly and safely.
• Stay at least two-three metres away from the fire. Being too close is not only dangerous, but also makes it harder to manipulate your extinguisher and be exposed to smoke.
• Avoid direct smoke exposure. If smoke blocks your vision or can engulf your escape route, you must always leave the building immediately.
• And, be sure your fire extinguisher fits the fire, based on its material and class type.

This course provides a hands-on introduction and overview to common types of personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect against common workplace hazards, such as chemicals, noise and mechanical injury.

Various topics in this training program include hazard control, PPE familiarization,
responsibilities of workers, supervisors and employers. Most PPE training programs are between approximately 2-4 hours in duration, and can be paired with other training programs offered.
