Fire Extinguishers – Types and Use

Knowing which extinguisher to grab — and how to use it — can stop a small fire from becoming a disaster.

Fire extinguishers are only effective when the right type is used on the right class of fire. These toolbox talks cover the five extinguisher types (A, B, C, D, K), identifying fire classes, the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep), and when to evacuate instead of fight a fire. Use them to train workers on confident, correct use of extinguishers in case of an emergency.

Lead toolbox talks that promote fire extinguisher readiness, proper use, and fast decision-making in fire situations.
