November 1, 2014 - It’s been a little over a year since I
posted a blog explaining Federal OSHA’s requirements to provide education and training on portable fire extinguishers to workers when there are extinguishers
available for their use. Since that time, some readers have emailed me with
other questions about extinguishers; the same questions that come up quite
often when I conduct mock-OSHA inspections.
