Fire training

An Introduction to Fire Extinguishers
Many people are afraid of fire extinguishers because they do not know how to use them or what will happen when they take it off the wall. Training can be carried out with members of your staff at the time of an annual service. Extinguishers requireing an extended service can be used to show staff about their operation and useage. This is very cost effective as it will only incur the cost of the service, and nothing for the training. It will give your staff the confidence to use an extinguisher in the event of a fire and take away the fear of the unknown.
