Course Overview

Practical fire extinguisher training for confident emergency response

While having fire extinguishers in the workplace is a legal requirement, many employees have never received proper instruction on how to use them. Our training ensures your team understands when and how to use fire extinguishers correctly, reducing risk and improving workplace safety.

The course typically lasts 1-2 hours and can be tailored to suit your business size, risk level, and workplace environment. Refresher training is recommended annually or whenever procedures, staff responsibilities, or equipment change.
