OSHA requires that all employees be educated in the use of fire extinguishers every year, according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157(g). The statute states “the employer shall provide an educational program to familiarize employees with the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with incipient stage firefighting.”
Students learn and practice hands-on:
• Seeing a fire
• Pulling a fire alarm
• Reaching for a fire extinguisher
• Pulling the pin
• Squeezing the trigger
• Using the PASS system (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, & Sweep)
• Maintain proper distance from the fire
• Know when to move away from a fire
• Check pressure gauges
• Refine their technique and retry if they fail
