This training ensures that employees are knowledgeable about the different types of fire extinguishers, how to operate them effectively, and when it is safe to use them during a fire emergency.

Ensuring that employees are trained is an integral aspect of a workplace safety program, thereby empowering workers to act confidently and correctly in emergency situations.
