Fire Extinguisher Use VR Activity

Standards

OSHA Standard: 1910.157 and industry best practices

 

Fire Extinguisher Use VR Activity helps learners to know which types of fires can be fought with a portable extinguisher, the factors that determine when to fight a fire, evacuate

immediately, or call emergency services.

 

Additional topics include what to do if an employee is not comfortable fighting a fire, when to initiate the emergency evacuation procedure, and how to properly use a fire extinguisher by utilizing the P.A.S.S. method.

 

An interactive simulation tasks the learner with responding to fire emergency scenarios with differing levels of severity to evaluate and determine whether or not to use a fire extinguisher, evacuate, or call emergency services.
