Basic Fire Safety Training

  • Basic Fire Safety Training
Basic Fire Safety Training prepares you to prevent fires by providing instruction on such topics as classification of fires, types of fire and fire behavior, types of extinguishers and uses, pre- se visual inspection of a fire extinguisher, extinguishing agents, proper sequence for extinguishing a fire, and successful completion of extinguishing a fire. Our Fire Safety Training instructs you on fire extinguishers as storage containers for an agent like water or chemicals. Extinguishers are designed to put out a small fire, not a large one. Extinguishers are labelled ABC or D. Ensure you use the right extinguisher for the appropriate type of fire:
  • Ordinary Combustibles – Fires started with paper, wood, drapes and upholstery require a Class A type extinguisher.
  • Flammable and Combustible Liquids – Fires originating from fuel oil, gasoline, paint, grease in a frying pan, solvents and other flammable liquids require a Class B type extinguisher.
  • Electrical Equipment – Fires started with wiring, overheated fuse boxes, conductors, and other electrical sources require a Class C type extinguisher.
  • Metals – Certain metals such as magnesium and sodium require a special dry powder Class D type extinguisher.

  • A multi-purpose dry chemical labelled ABC puts out most types of fires: wood, paper, cloth, flammable liquids and electrical fires. If you intend to buy more than one, you may want to purchase a BC for the kitchen, an A for the living room and an ABC for the basement and garage.

Basic Fire Safety Training Key Benefits

Our Fire Safety Course provides you with the training industry is looking for.
  • Instruction from industry-experienced instructors
  • Classification of fires and types of fire extinguishers
  • Strategies for putting out fires
  • Hands-on training
  • Virtual fire simulated on a large, transparent screen, permitting immediate correction of the student’s technique should it not be the method used by experts
  • Environmentally safe training
  • Hazard-free Fire Simulator Training

Fire Safety Training allows you to use our Virtual Fire Simulator; truly a technological breakthrough that satisfies both safety and environmental concerns while providing expert training on the use of fire extinguishers. Our Fire Safety Training is based upon the fact that fires start small (known as incipient fires) and may be extinguished by knowledgeable employees utilizing the proper equipment. Without this type of training, there is a much greater risk of the fire spreading and employees being injured while using an extinguisher improperly. Watch METI Fire Safety Training instructor Harold Daigle use our Virtual Fire Simulator.

As the owner of a small contracting company I understand the importance of keeping my employees safe. The success of my business depends on me being able to return my employees home safely to their families at the end of their workday and have them at work the next day to service our clients. We`ve had a safety program in place for years but recently organizations I contract for and my insurance company were requesting that we become “Safety Certified”. I reached out to METI for assistance in getting us audit ready; they reviewed my safety documentation, helped us with some revisions and coached me on the audit process. I`m happy to say that we were successful in achieving our “Safety Certified” accreditation.

Thank you to METI and Byron Donovan (Safety Advisor) for the professional assistance and for meeting our needs and timelines.

September, 2017: We have developed a great relationship with METI and their Pre-Employment Scaffolding Program over the past five years. Numerous graduates have been employed by Panels and Pipes and are always very well prepared to begin their careers as Scaffolders. They are well trained, knowing and understanding the basics of scaffolding and how to construct it safely. Along with their SAIA Scaffolding accreditation and added safety certifications METI graduates are always on the top of our list when hiring new Scaffolders.

September, 2017: METI has been providing excellent service, and reliable training for CLAC for many years. Their diverse course offerings, from OSSA certifications to SAIA Pre-Employment and journeyperson scaffold training has proven to be extremely valuable to us. Our continued strong relationship with METI allows CLAC members to access training in Eastern Canada. METI instructors are knowledgeable and have shown a real passion for ensuring our members are trained to the highest industry standards.

June 28, 2016: As a recent graduate of the SAIA (Scaffold and Access Industry Association) Program (June, 2016) as well as the Environmental Health and Safety Program (fall, 2015), I just wanted to thank all the dedicated staff at METI, especially Gerard Jessome, for passing along their infinite knowledge, skills and contacts during my training. With Gerard’s assistance, I was offered a position with Brock Canada Field Services immediately following the completion of my course. As a “mature” female student who has never worked in the oil and gas industry, I believe this opportunity presented itself on the basis of the excellent training provided by METI, and the respect they have earned for producing well qualified graduates. Keep up the great work!
