If there is a fire at work – how to extinguish it properly

If there is a fire, reacting quickly and correctly can save lives. Companies should therefore regularly inform employees about the most important procedures that apply in an emergency. For example, employees must know the escape routes and emergency exits, and their knowledge of safety signs should be regularly refreshed. The “Work & Health” magazine provides many more suggestions on how companies can prepare their employees for a fire. It also shows how to use fire extinguishers correctly. After all, it is usually not enough to simply hold it out. It is much more efficient to use several extinguishers at the same time, to extinguish surface fires from front to back and to spray the extinguishing agent in bursts.
