The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 109 workers died from fires in 2010, while according to OSHA more than 5,000 are injured annually in explosions and fires on the job — many of whom suffer serious burns and long, painful recoveries. Some of the most important decisions a company can make are choosing protective apparel for its workers and addressing fire risks proactively. When it comes to protecting your workers on the job and also your company’s reputation and operations, a good understanding of PPE and hazard assessments is the way to go.

Attendees at this webinar will learn about personal fire safety best practices and effective assessment of fire hazards.
