Portable Fire Extinguishers - General Industry (US)

Course overview

Portable fire extinguishers are often the first line of defense in the event of a fire emergency. Understanding the types of fire extinguishers, when to use them, and how to operate them properly is essential for safety. We have designed this course to help your team learn about the proper use and maintenance of fire extinguishers. This training is not only OSHA-compliant but also helps drive best practices across your workplace. This training can be delivered to your team today, completed in under 15 minutes, and accessed from any device. We have 25+ other OSHA refresher topics covered in our Course Library. What do we mean by refresher training? Some OSHA standards mandate annual training requirements. They require employers to refresh workers annually on portable fire extinguishers and save these retraining records for compliance. With SC Training, you can easily deliver refresher training to on-site workers that can be completed in the same time it takes to have a toolbox talk. You can also send reminders to their mobile devices and track progress and completion for seamless compliance. Who is the training for? This training is for safety professionals and workers in the general industry who have received their OSHA DOL Card or last received OSHA training more than 12 months ago. (Last Updated: April 2024)
