MYTH MONDAY
“Having a fire extinguisher means we’re covered.”
Truth: Equipment ≠ Preparedness.
Most workplaces have extinguishers…
But does your team know:
• When to fight vs evacuate?
• Which extinguisher to grab?
• How to actually use it under pressure?
🔥 Quick Tip:
Use the PASS method:
Pull the pin
Aim at the base of the fire
Squeeze the handle
Sweep side to side
And remember — if the fire is larger than a small trash can or you don’t have a clear exit behind you, evacuate.
At Heart First Training, emergency preparedness is built into every CPR & First Aid class — taught by a retired Fire Marshal.
Don’t settle for a run-of-the-mill workplace CPR class.
Train for real emergencies.
