Fires can break out anywhere, at any time. OSHA regulations, state ordinances and local fire codes require industrial facilities, office complexes and public buildings to have portable fire extinguishers located near all potential fire hazards. Extinguishers should be mounted on hangers or in marked fire extinguisher cabinets, where they can be clearly seen. Fire extinguisher inspections and maintenance should be a major part of your facility’s fire prevention policy. You should also check the service tag to see when the extinguisher is due for a professional inspection.
