Join us at the Wayne County Regional Training Facility for a crucial session dedicated to workplace safety and emergency preparedness. When a fire emergency strikes on the job, split-second decisions can make all the difference. While many facilities are equipped with fire extinguishers, simply having them on the wall isn't enough—your team needs to know exactly how to use them.
This comprehensive training is designed to take the guesswork out of fire emergency response by diving deep into the distinct classes of fires (such as ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment) and explaining why matching the correct extinguisher to the specific hazard is critical. To make this session as practical and secure as possible, Albright Welding will be on-site providing the fire extinguishers and monitoring the training to ensure top-notch safety protocols are followed throughout.
Beyond just identifying the right equipment, participants will learn the vital mechanics of proper operation, essential workplace maintenance standards, and critical inspection requirements. Angela will also cover the decision-making process behind when it is safe to fight a fire and when it is time to evacuate. Hosting this session at the training facility provides the ideal backdrop for gaining actionable insights to minimize risk, protect your property, and—most importantly—ensure your employees go home safely every day.
