BETA Laboratory provides state-of-the-art fire safety simulator training to improve the safety of your workplace and employees. This training program focuses on understanding the fire tetrahedron, the chemistry of fire, the types of fire and their respective extinguishing agents, along with the practical use of a fire extinguisher. This training meets OSHA 1910.157(g) requirements for fire extinguisher hands-on use and the hazards involved with incipient fire fighting.
As an alternative to open burn extinguisher training, which can involve costly permits, dry chemical, travel and scheduling, BETA Laboratory offers a unique training simulator. This computer-controlled system uses a custom digitized computer program, with laser light and compressed air fed through a portable extinguisher. Scenarios can be altered to adjust the type of fuel and agent, the flame intensity and the difficulty in extinguishing the fire.
Simulator training can take place in a classroom or any reasonable-sized room where the amount of light can be adjusted.
