Safety Solutions and Supply offers a 4-hour Incipient Fire Hands-On Training course that follows OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157 and other relevant OSHA standards. This course is focused on training workers who may use a portable fire extinguisher to prevent and detect fires in their early stages. Safety Solutions and Supply is known for being the top training provider in Incipient Fire Training (Fire Extinguisher Training).

OSHA mandates that any worker who may use a portable fire extinguisher must receive training on its usage. During the class, students will participate in a discussion on topics such as the fire triangle and tetrahedron, hazardous products of combustion, classification of fires, immediate actions needed upon encountering a fire, and the appropriate use of portable fire extinguishers to extinguish a live incipient stage fire.

The course includes a hands-on demonstration wherein students will use a portable fire extinguisher in a controlled environment to extinguish a live fire while following OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157 compliance regulations. The use of extinguishing agents and their proper use will also be covered during the training.

What are OSHA Standards for Portable Fire Extinguishers in the Workplace?

If a company supplies its employees with portable fire extinguishers and authorizes them to use them in case of fire, they must follow all the guidelines in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157. This standard includes ensuring the correct placement, usage, maintenance, testing and providing proper training to employees on how to use portable fire extinguishers effectively. Additionally, these companies must provide an educational training program to familiarize employees with the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with incipient stages of fire-fighting, as well as training in the use of appropriate equipment. This education and training must be provided to all employees upon initial employment and every two years after that.
