These devices are designed for incipient-stage fires, which are small, contained fires that have just started. Before attempting to fight a fire, workers must evaluate the situation and determine whether it is safe to proceed. If the fire is spreading, smoke is increasing, visibility is decreasing, or the correct extinguisher is unavailable, evacuation must take priority.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis training provides an overview of portable fire extinguisher safety and explains the importance of recognizing fire conditions, selecting the correct equipment, and understanding when to evacuate.

The process involves pulling the safety pin, aiming at the base of the fire, squeezing the operating lever, and sweeping the discharge from side to side. The course reinforces the importance of following proper operating procedures and maintaining a safe exit route while using an extinguisher.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe program also explores the relationship between fire safety, WHMIS, and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).
