Who'da ever known that is a fire extinguisher, darn good thing they put a sign there!
Back in 2013, we discussed the OSHA and NFPA requirements for "identifying fire extinguishers" in Fire Extinguishers... Did you know they have to be identified?. In that article, we touched on the OSHA and NFPA requirements for how fire extinguishers are to be identified. But how many of us see this just about everywhere we go:
Do you see the problem? I am not talking about some obscure NFPA standard or even basic OSHA requirements; I'm talking about, and dare I say it, "common sense" safety. What is the purpose of placing a sign that says "Fire Extinguisher" with an arrow pointing to it only a few inches above the fire extinguisher? What if this was the situation? |
