Free Preview: Fire Extinguisher Safety for Restaurant Employees
What You’ll Learn in This Free Preview
When Might a Fire Extinguisher Be Needed
—and When Should You Leave?
Grease fires. Electrical sparks. Oven flare-ups. Restaurant fires can start quickly, and recognizing when to evacuate matters as much as recognizing the hazard.
This free excerpt from REST’s ABCs of Fire Extinguishers lesson introduces situations involving restaurant fires and the conditions that must be considered before attempting to use a portable extinguisher.
You’ll explore:
- Restaurant situations where a fire could start.
- Why portable extinguishers are intended only for small, contained fires.
- The importance of knowing the extinguisher, matching it to the burning material, and keeping a clear escape route.
- Conditions that mean employees should evacuate rather than attempt to fight the fire.
This preview is one section of the complete lesson. It does not cover extinguisher selection and operation in full. Employees should follow their restaurant’s emergency plan and assigned responsibilities.
