The department of environmental health and safety has made its fire drill training available via online video. It was formerly conducted via periodic live webinars.
The video is available on LLU Health organization-wide learning (OWL) portal at http://bit.ly/1dUmAmY.
“This new method brings more efficiency to the training by reducing the time spent in training from 45-60 minutes to 20 minutes,” says Preston Brown, fire safety technician. “It is also available anytime and anywhere that your schedule permits.”
The video outlines how to perform effective fire drills. It also explains why drilling is important, who is responsible for drills, and what tools are available to departments.
It is designed for department heads or their fire drill designee. For information regarding fire drill requirements and recommendations for different departments, contact Mr. Brown at extension 58163 or prbrown@llu.edu.
“After you take the course, we’d love to hear your feedback, especially if you have any suggestions for improving this or future courses,” he says.
The department of environmental health and safety also maintains a “Speaking of Safety” blog where readers can learn more about preventing hazards at work and home, safety regulations, and more.
