Description
Every year, workplace fires cause injuries, costly damage, and loss of life - often because workers hesitated or didn't know what to do. The Fire Extinguisher Use course prepares you to make fast, confident decisions when a fire breaks out. Through real-world scenarios and an immersive simulation, you'll practice the skills that matter most when seconds count.
Drawn from OSHA Standard: 1910.38, .157, 1926.150, .352, and industry best practices.
An interactive simulation is included. Not every fire should be fought, and knowing the difference could save your life. In this simulation, you'll face three different fire scenarios in the workplace and decide whether to use a fire extinguisher or evacuate based on the conditions around you.
You can access the simulation using a screen reader, computer, mobile device, or a Quest VR headset.
