What is this video about?

A general fire safety video for office and industrial premises. It includes references to the Legislation, types of extinguisher, the extinguisher colour scheme, types of fire and what to do if you hear the alarm or if you see a fire.

It presents the essential information in a dynamic, instructive manner. Demonstrations of the extinguishers going off can be used to lead into more practical sessions on your site.

Fire extinguishers may all be red, but they are not all the same! The video explains the labelling colour scheme and the different types of extinguisher are demonstrated. In the heat of the moment your staff should be able to use an extinguisher without any hesitation if it is safe for them to do so. The video shows actual demonstrations to help your staff familiarise themselves with what they have to do.
