HBIH 9682 – Fire Prevention Safety
Overview
This training prepares the learner to prevent fires by understanding how
their own actions can contribute to the risk of fire. The learner looks at
what causes industrial fires, reviews steps that can be taken to help prevent
fires, and discusses what to do in case of a fire emergency. Topics include
common causes of workplace fires, prevention, flashpoint, fire classes, fire
extinguishers, handling flammable materials, evacuation, first aid, and other
employee responsibilities.
Sixty 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. When the learner answers a question incorrectly the
computer provides remedial instruction and reviews the material until the
learner can answer correctly. All questions in this training 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.
Mastery's exclusive Follow-up Review, standard in all Mastery Advantage
courses, 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 training and its resources using the
standard Mastery 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 training information on any topic at any
time during the lesson presentations. A complete transcript of all audio and
video files is also provided with this training. Use the transcript file in
conjunction with MODIFY to simplify customizations. Closed Captioning is
included.
