Understanding Fire Extinguisher Compliance
Your specific requirements may vary based on industry and workplace hazards. When developing your fire extinguisher program, Village First Aid & Safety recommends consulting with:
- Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
- Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
Ensuring Complete Compliance
While fire extinguishers may appear straightforward, meeting NFPA 10 standards involves several critical components:
- Monthly visual inspections
- Annual functional inspections
- Strategic extinguisher placement
- Proper documentation
- Internal maintenance
- Required hydrostatic testing
NFPA 10 Standards
The National Fire Protection Association establishes comprehensive fire protection standards, with NFPA 10 specifically addressing portable fire extinguishers. Most U.S. businesses must conduct monthly visual inspections and annual functional testing at minimum. Village First Aid & Safety works closely with you to verify your specific requirements with local authorities.
OSHA Regulation Compliance
OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.157 outlines essential guidelines for the placement, use, maintenance, and testing of portable fire extinguishers in workplace settings. This regulation places responsibility on employers for proper inspection, maintenance, and testing of all portable fire extinguishers, including mandatory monthly visual inspections.
