About this Course

The fire watch serves an important function in fire prevention, promptly reporting incidents to the fire department and providing essential information about the fire type. Fire watchers aren’t necessarily responsible for extinguishing these fires unless it is small enough for them to do so safely. The training material covers the obligations of a fire watch and the seriousness of the repercussions if those duties are not taken seriously.  

Our online Fire Watch training program is aligned with OSHA training requirements and is designed to help students understand the importance of fire watchers, how to identify fire dangers, and ways to improve workplace safety.  

This course is for employees and supervisors.
