We had (optional) safety training when I worked at Square, which included CPR training, going over office evacuation procedures, etc. One of the most fun parts was they had a virtual fire extinguisher training, which involved basically a video game fire extinguisher controller to put out a fire on a tv. It’s definitely not as exciting as using a real fire extinguisher training, but can also be done in an office meeting room.




I’m still upset they didn’t let us start fires in the meeting rooms to practice using real extinguishers.

Miss working with you!


Virtual training is better than nothing. But I don't think it really compares doing IRL.
