About these posters
These free fire extinguisher posters support that awareness. The set has an awareness checklist for staff to complete, a do and avoid poster on keeping extinguishers visible and ready, and a guide to what each type contains. They are awareness posters, not instructions. They do not teach how to use an extinguisher or which fire to fight, because that needs proper training. They are not fire safety signs.
Questions
Do these posters show how to use an extinguisher?
No. Practical training is the right way to learn this, and your fire safety adviser or training provider can arrange it.
Can the posters replace extinguisher signs?
No. They are information posters. Use proper fire safety signs at each extinguisher point.
Should everyone try to put out a fire?
No. The posters say that evacuating comes first and that only trained people should use an extinguisher.
Can I print these in black and white?
Yes. The checklist and do and avoid posters have ink-light versions.
