Office buildings and other corporate facilities are often multi-story and contain many offices, cubicles, storage
areas, and meeting rooms. The number of people in these types of facilities, combined with an abundance of
combustible materials and potential sources of ignition, creates the potential for a hazardous office fire to
occur. To help prevent fires, office workers must understand and follow good fire prevention practices, such
as office housekeeping, which keeps combustible items from accumulating and removes them from proximity
to heat sources. This program discusses ways to prevent fires in the office, how to respond to an emergency,
participating in fire drills, and the use of fire extinguishers.
After watching the program, the participant should be able to explain the following:
- The fire triangle;
