 Training
your staff or family can help save lives and property. In Australia,
Occupational Health and Safety Regulations require that:
"Where the employer has provided portable fire extinguishers for employees' use in the workplace, the employer shall also provide a fire education program to familiarize employees with the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with incipient stage fire fighting."
United Fire Equipment can help you solve your training needs.
Most often, this is in the use of fire extinguishers, but UFE
can provide training in any system or evacuation/emergency procedures.
Training for your staff will be tailored to your needs and can
include:
- Classroom instruction
- Video presentations
- Hands-on experience with live fires
 As
a result of UFE training, your staff will be:
- Knowledgeable of the steps to be taken when a fire is discovered
- Aware of the importance of portable fire extinguishers as a fire fighting tool
- Familiar with the common types of fire extinguishers
- Respectful of the limitations of equipment and operator
- Capable of integrating their new knowledge into other areas of their lives
Personnel undergoing hands-on training will get the opportunity to use the types of fire extinguishers found in their workplace on live, controlled fires. This is a great way to build confidence! |
