Course Details
Portable Fire Extinguisher Training is a self-paced online safety program that prepares employees to identify fire hazards, choose the right extinguisher for each class of fire, and respond safely to incipient-stage fires in the workplace. Delivered entirely through our learning management system, this online fire extinguisher training lets you complete every module at your own pace within your course access period, with audio-guided lessons and fire extinguisher training video content built in. OSHA requires employers to provide fire extinguisher safety training to employees who are expected to use extinguishers upon assignment and at least annually thereafter, and this course is designed to meet that yearly requirement. The curriculum covers fire extinguisher classifications, hazard recognition, and the safe steps for operating a portable extinguisher, so the fire extinguisher training course maps directly to real emergency-response and fire-prevention duties. It also includes fire extinguisher inspection training, teaching you how to perform basic inspections that keep units accessible, charged, and ready when they are needed. Because it is written for the workers and general employees who may need to use an extinguisher rather than as a fire extinguisher train the trainer program, this fire extinguisher training stays focused on practical, job-ready skills.
On successful completion, including the required final assessment, you earn IACET continuing education units awarded under the ANSI/IACET Standard, giving you documented proof of training for your employer’s records. Because OSHA calls for refresher training every year, this online fire extinguisher training is an efficient way to stay current without leaving the job site. To take part, you need only a current web browser, reliable internet access, and audio for the course videos and presentations. Review the full curriculum below, then enroll to complete your portable fire extinguisher training online and help keep your workplace fire-ready.

Portable Fire Extinguisher
OSHA requires that all employees receive education on the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards of fighting incipient-stage fires upon initial employment and at least annually thereafter. Training should also cover the use of appropriate equipment. While not always requiring formal classroom instruction, the training must familiarize employees with the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) for using extinguishers and the importance of identifying an evacuation path before approaching a fire.
