MARCOM’s Using Fire Extinguishers in Industrial Environments course is an online training program designed for workers in industrial facilities. The course discusses the types of fire extinguishers available and when each type should be used. It also provides practical guidance on how to use a fire extinguisher employing the P.A.S.S. method.

When a fire happens in a facility, often the first thing people do is panic. This can lead to the fire getting out of control and workers being hurt. When workers know how to use a fire extinguisher to put out small fires before they become big ones, lives can be saved and damage can be minimized. Topics covered include classes of fire and how they burn, dry chemical and carbon dioxide extinguisher types, water and foam extinguisher types, using a fire extinguisher, and maintaining fire extinguishers.

The course is 100% online, fully self-paced, and accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
