Training Needs
When Edmonton workplaces need extinguisher training
Extinguisher training should help staff make a safe decision before they decide whether equipment use is appropriate.
Staff may discover a small incident
Kitchens, labs, storage rooms, service spaces, offices, public areas, and maintenance rooms can place staff near the first signs of fire.
Many occupants may be nearby
Patients, residents, visitors, public users, coworkers, tenants, and contractors may affect whether evacuation and warning others should be the priority.
Confidence is uneven
Some employees may hesitate while others may act too quickly without considering smoke, exits, fire growth, or personal safety.
Records or refreshers are needed
New staff, tenant updates, department changes, and annual training cycles can create a need for documented training.
