Fire Safety

Fire presents a major risk to any workplace. Our fire safety courses give your team the knowledge to recognize fire hazards, prevent fires from starting, and respond appropriately if one occurs.

Fire Marshal/Fire Safety training aligns with NFPA 10 and OSHA requirements.

Key topics include:

1. Fire chemistry and behavior – how fires start and spread
2. Fire prevention strategies – control of flammable materials, hot work permits, etc.
3. Suppression systems – types like sprinklers and extinguishers
4. Using extinguishers – hands-on operation if safe to do so
5. Identifying ignition sources – assessment of workplace fire risks
6. Detection systems – proper maintenance and testing
7. Fire evacuation planning – emergency exits, signage, drills

We also offer customized fire drills to practice evacuation procedures and fire warden duties unique to your facility.

With skilled fire marshals and an informed staff, you can significantly reduce fire risks. Contact GIST today to schedule certified training that ensures legal compliance and readiness.
