Fire Prevention And Safety In Food Processing And Handling Environments

Each year there are over 35,000 workplace fires in the United States that cause not only a billion dollars or more in facility damages but many worker injuries and deaths. This safety training program shows those who work in food processing and handling environments what potential fire hazards are in the workplace, how to prevent fires, and what to do if there is a fire. Viewers learn how fire needs three ingredients to burn: fuel, such as cardboard; an oxidizer, such as atmospheric oxygen; and heat, such as a spark. This program explains what the five different classes of fire are, and what should be used to extinguish each class. This program also teaches practical ways to prevent fires. Viewers learn the importance of knowing their facility’s evacuation plan and are shown safety steps to take during a fire such as testing a door to see if it is hot before opening it. Use this training program to learn how to prevent fires in a restaurant, food service, or food processing and handling workplace.
