Overview

An extinguisher cannot help in an emergency if it is damaged, missing, blocked, or not ready to use. The Fire Extinguisher Inspection course helps learners understand why regular extinguisher inspections matter and how small issues can affect safety in a big way. It builds awareness of what to look for during an inspection and why problems must be reported right away. An interactive simulation is available for desktop, mobile, and VR headsets. Drawn from OSHA Standards 1910.157, 1926.150, and industry best practices.
