Overview

Since fire is one of the most common hazards in the workplace, it is important for your employees to know how to properly us a fire extinguisher if a fire should break out. Of course, fire prevention is always the best safety policy to follow, but prevention is not always possible. This program Teaches your employees how to calmly and effectively deal with fires and correctly use a fire extinguisher. Twenty nine interactions actively involve the learner in the training. Lesson interactions provide the learner opportunities to apply what he or she has learned. The computer assesses the learner's level of understanding of all learning objectives. All questions in this course are fully narrated. Narrations enhance comprehension and are welcome support for learners with reading skill deficits and when English is the learner's second language. When the learner answers a question incorrectly the computer provides remedial instruction and reviews the material until the learner can answer correctly.The Follow-up Review provides time-delayed reinforcement and review of the learner's newly acquired knowledge. The Follow-up Review enhances the transfer of newly acquired knowledge to the learner's long-term memory. The Learner navigates through the course and its resources using the standard Control Bar. Course resources include a fully narrated glossary of terms. Each term is pronounced and its definition read aloud to the learner. A topical index provides a complete map to the instructional material. The learner can ask for all course information on any topic at any time during the lesson presentations. The learner can use the topical index as a reference source even after completing the course.
