Portable Fire Extinguishers · v1.0.0 · October 22, 2026
Course developed by Todd Jerome Jenkins, MS, CSP.
This online knowledge component does not authorize fire fighting. The employer must confirm your role, actual site actions and appropriate equipment training, including skills for designated users.
Complete this worksheet using the actual workplace and current plan. A blank form or course score is not evidence that the action occurred. Record actual dates and observations. Print or save a completed copy before closing; entries are not automatically stored. Keep private health details out of this worksheet.
| Component | Actual evidence |
|---|---|
| Policy and role | Employer confirms applicable jurisdiction, evacuation or use role, actual policy and any conditional exemption; course pass is not authorization. |
| Site actions | Actual alarm, emergency reporting, safe routes, assembly and responder information reviewed and understood for the work area/phase. |
| Equipment and hazards | Actual fuels, classes, suitable units, labels, controls, range, agent hazards and withdrawal limits reviewed; specialized hazards separately assessed. |
| Assigned skills | For a use role, appropriate equipment training and suitable safe observed practice; record gaps, corrective training and reassessment. No universal live-fire exercise claimed. |
| Timing and readiness | Correct sector/role training schedule, actual dates and next due basis; access, defects, service and replacement process confirmed. Keep equipment service records separate from learner results. |
Use the actual work and plan. Arrange clear instruction, questions, teach-back and suitable safe practice. Correct a critical gap before relying on the arrangement. Academy discussions are asynchronous and are not an emergency contact route.
