COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Length: 1 Hour
Fires can start quickly and spread rapidly. Over 150 major fires occur in BC workplaces on an annual basis. Fire is the third leading cause of accidental deaths. WorkSafeBC requires that education and training be provided to employees. Fire codes require extinguishers to be located readily around job sites. However, not knowing how to properly operate one can be dangerous. No matter what industry you’re in, or what size of business, all employers should have employees trained on how to properly use fire extinguishers on site. Our online fire extinguisher course in BC teaches employees basic information about fighting fires with fire extinguishers. It covers topics such as how to determine when a fire is too big to handle, what kind of extinguisher to use, and how to use it using the PASS method of early-stage firefighting.
