Whether at home or at work - knowing how to act quickly and effectively in the event of a fire can save lives. In an emergency, there is no time for long deliberations; a quick and correct response is crucial.
Fire extinguisher training
An essential measure for safety in an emergency
Fire extinguisher training makes it possible to act calmly and effectively in the event of a fire without panicking. Everyone involved is familiarized with the correct use of fire extinguishers.
Employers in particular are legally obliged to train their employees in fire protection and safety measures. This includes not only the training of fire safety assistants, but also annual fire safety training for all employees.
An important part of this training is practical fire extinguisher instruction, which is enshrined in law. Paragraph 10 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, ASR A 2.2 and DGUV Information 205-023, for example, require regular fire extinguisher training.
Fire extinguisher instruction in detail
As part of a fire extinguisher training course, participants learn about the different types of fire extinguishers and their areas of application, both in theory and in practice.
They receive instructions on how to use them and are allowed to put what they have learned into practice under supervision. A fire trainer is used for fire extinguisher training. The fire trainer simulates realistic fire scenarios on which the participants can practise using fire extinguishers. In addition, grease and spray can explosions are usually demonstrated in order to prepare the participants for a variety of potentially dangerous situations.
Overall, fire extinguisher training is an essential measure to ensure safety in the event of a fire. Regular training with practical fire extinguisher instruction enables employees to react appropriately in an emergency, minimizing potential damage and saving lives.
