PUAFER008 is practical fire extinguisher training. You'll learn how fires start and spread, and the classes of fire. You'll practise choosing the right extinguisher, fire blanket or hose reel and using it safely. Just as important, you'll learn when not to fight a fire and to evacuate instead.
Who it's for
Fire wardens, kitchen and hospitality staff, workshop and warehouse teams, and anyone who may need to respond to a small fire at work.
What you'll learn
- The fire triangle and classes of fire
- Types of portable extinguishers and their colour codes
- Using extinguishers, fire blankets and hose reels on live fire (hands-on)
- Deciding whether to fight or evacuate
- Raising the alarm and reporting the incident
What to bring
Photo ID and enclosed shoes. The practical session uses live fire.
