Fire and electrical safety training courses have one main goal which is to teach you what to do in case of an emergency. What you learn during this training will be useful throughout your life, at work as well as at home.

Here are some important safety tips that are taught during training. Remember these tips when you are in the midst of a fire or electrical emergency and calmly follow them.

Fire safety tips:

– Call the fire department to notify them of the fire. If the fire is at your workplace, try to notify your supervisors as well.

– Help others who are in the midst of the fire and try to get them away from the fire as soon as possible. Those people who are slow or are panicking must be helped first to get to safety.

– Use the closest exit to get out. Remember never use a lift during fire emergencies. It can be very dangerous. Close all door and windows in order to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading.

– Do not waste time collecting material things. You will be losing precious time. Remember that material items can be replaced but human life cannot.

– Get outside the building and find a secure area to wait, in from of the building. Wait there till the firefighters and ambulance arrive.

Electrical Safety tips:

Electrical emergencies comprise of two outcomes, fires and electric shocks. The safety plan for electrical fires is basically similar to the one mentioned above.

Here are a few tips for electrical emergencies.

– As soon as you become aware of an electrical emergency, call 911 to call for an ambulance and fire engine, if needed. Also notify the authorities so they can get help.

– For electrical fire, a special extinguisher is usually installed in offices and buildings. When you are sure that the source of the fire is electrical, use that extinguisher to put it off. If you unsure of the cause of fire, you must leave it to the firefighters to do their job.

– In case your colleague has suffered an electric shock and has fallen to the ground, stay away from him/her until you break the circuit. If you don’t know where the switch is, you can use any dry wooden piece to remove any electric wires that are attached to the victim.

– Once you get the victim away from the electric source, use your first aid skills to administer the needed immediate treatment. Usually an electric shock victim requires oxygen to bring his/her breathing back to normal after treatment is given.

These were some of the safety tips you will learn during a fire and electrical safety training. There are many more points involved in fire and electrical emergencies, but these are the basic things you must remember so that you can save yourself and the people around you.
