Fire Extinguisher Safety Training | Mymic Training Technologies

MYMIC Training Technologies’ Fire Extinguisher safety training is created to teach users the proper safety measures and cautions to take when using a fire extinguisher to ensure optimal safety in the case of a fire.  All of the safety techniques that are demonstrated in the Fire Extinguisher safety training are complaint to OSHA’s rules, regulations, and standards.  

This Fire Extinguisher safety training is unique in that is uses augmented reality technology throughout the training.  That means that users will experience examples of dangerous and hazardous situations of a chemical fire as if they were there in the moment but without being in any real physical harm. 

Users taking the Fire Extinguisher safety training will be able to interact with the training because there are multiple areas from them to click, as well as periodic quizzes on the material.  The quizzes are unique to the safety training because users must receive a certain grade, which is determined by the employer, on the quiz to continue the safety training module.  

MYMIC Training Technologies’ expects users who complete the Fire Extinguisher training to be able to successfully put out a chemical fire.  Before fighting a chemical fire, always establish an evacuation route, and the appropriate type of extinguisher for the hazards that caused the fire.  It is important to remember that if any employee feels as though their health or safety is in danger to evacuate immediately and call the fire department.  

MYMIC Training Technologies’ uses the PASS guidelines for putting out a chemical fire.  The first step in the PASS acronym is to Pull, which is referring to pulling the pin on the fire extinguisher.  Once the pin is pulled, it is important do always test to make sure that the fire extinguisher is not empty.  

Next in the acronym is Aim, which is referring to aiming at the base of the fire and not the top of it.  Squeeze is the following step which will release the mono-ammonium phosphate, which is the main chemical used to put out the fire.  Sweep is the last step, which is referring to the motion of side to side, which the fire extinguisher should be done in to put out the chemical fire safely.  

This training created by MYMIC Training Technologies’ gives the user hands on, interactive experience in putting out a virtual chemical fire.  This will help the users with their learning retention because they will feel as though they put out an actual fire as opposed to a virtual one.  MYMIC Training Technologies has a highly skilled and dedicated graphics team which puts in numerous hours to create the best training and experience possible.
