Portable Fire Extinguisher Training
Did you know that according to OSHA each year in the U.S., 70,000-80,000
workplaces experience a serious fire, and that about 200 employees per year die in
these fires and another 5000 are injured? According to the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), in 2017 a fire department responded to a distress call every 24
seconds. The losses from these fires totaled approximately $31 billion in property
damage. Having employees that are correctly trained in fire prevention and fire
combat may be the factor that prevents losing your business and fellow coworkers.
