Which item requires trained staff to know how to use it?

Knowing how to use a fire extinguisher correctly is a practical skill that staff must have in a salon. Using one involves identifying the right type of extinguisher for the fire, then applying it safely with the proper technique. This requires hands-on training so staff know when it’s appropriate to deploy it and how to do so without putting themselves or clients at risk. The other options aren’t about operating a device: a fire alarm system is usually automatic and staff mainly respond by evacuating; induction training covers general safety procedures rather than a specific tool; fire exit markings guide escape routes but aren’t something you “use” in the same way.
