If a learner answers a question incorrectly they are redirected to the appropriate section of the material and must watch and listen again. This ensures employees learn the material that they are presented with.

- Great tips! So many companies have extinguishers and fire safety products around but the employees have no idea how to use them. Training sessions do not need to be time consuming but they do need to occur for the safety of your employees and customers.

- That is so true. You can work in an office for years and barely notice where all the fire extinguishers are, where all the exits are, etc. I agree that drills and training sessions should be made a priority. A life is too valuable to skip a couple minutes a month for a refresher.
