Frequently Asked Questions…
1 ) Can my business be fined for not performing required fire & safety inspections?
“YES.” In one instance following a fire, a business was fined $87,000 by OSHA. Why take the risk, ensure a licensed or qualified fire protection company is performing monthly inspections and annual maintenance as required per adopted fire and safety codes.
2) Are employees required to be trained in the use of portable fire extinguishers?
“YES.” OSHA requires fire extinguisher training be performed for all employees, “Annually”. Why you say? Simple answer is “They Work”. The National Association of Fire Equipment Distributors (NAFED) found that fires were extinguished by portable fire extinguishers in 94% of the cases studied saving lives and property.
3) Are you likely to have your emergency lighting inspected?
“YES.” The Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), Fire Marshal, Building Inspector and OSHA all can inspect and may fine accordingly if equipment found inoperable.
