OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration
A message from OSHA regarding installation of fire extinguishers.
"Workplace fires and explosions kill hundreds and injure thousands of workers each year.
One way to limit the amount of damage due to such fires is to make portable fire extinguishers
an important part of your fire prevention program.
When used properly, fire extinguishers can save lives and property by putting out a small fire
or controlling a fire until additional help arrives."
Regular maintenance and inspections of your portable fire extinguishers will provide assurance
that they will operate effectively and safely if they are needed [29 CFR 1910.157(c)(4)].
