Safety Class – Fire Extinguisher Safety – Yearly Requirement

OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.157, Portable Fire Extinguishers, applies to the placement, use, maintenance, and testing of portable fire extinguishers provided for employee use. This standard specifies requirements such as, hydrostatic testing of fire extinguisher shells and training and education on use and hazards associated with incipient stage fire fighting.

OSHA has jurisdiction over fire extinguishers for employee use. Consequently, during compliance inspections fire extinguishers are evaluated against the applicable standards. In terms of HMIS labeling system, the agency does not require the HMIS for fire extinguishers or any other container. OSHA has stated in its directive of the Hazard Communication Standard (CPL 2-2.38 C) that:

“The standard’s preamble recognizes the existence of numerous labeling systems that are currently in use in industry. Examples include the HMIS (Hazardous Materials Information System), NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) systems. Some of these systems rely on a numerical and/or alphabetic codes to convey the hazards. Although these labeling systems may not convey the target organ effects, the intent of the standard is to permit the use of these systems for implant labeling as long as the written Hazard Communication Program adequately addresses the issue.”
