Portable Fire Extinguishers & OSHA CFR 1926 Subpart F

What 29 CFR 1926.150(c)(1)(viii) Says

Portable fire extinguishers (PFE) are an essential component of fire preparedness.
29 CFR 1926.150(c)(1)(viii) states: “Portable fire extinguishers shall be inspected periodically and maintained in accordance with Maintenance and Use of Portable Fire Extinguishers, NFPA No. 10A-1970.” NFPA 10 is the standard for portable fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers require frequent inspections not to exceed 31 days. Additional requirements for annual inspections, required maintenance and hydrostatic testing which requires a certified professional, but more on that later. For general worksite purposes, this blog will be covering the monthly inspection process performed by any competent person.

NFPA 10

NFPA 10 states that the portable fire extinguisher (PFE) inspection process begins with the inspector confirming the correct location. However, in construction the locations may vary depending on the work performed in the area. 29 CFR 1926.150 Fire Protection and Prevention standard provides information on where extinguishers need to be located. 1926.150(c) states that PFEs shall be provided for each 3,000 square feet of the protected building area and that the travel distance between the protected area and the nearest fire extinguisher shall not exceed 100 feet.

Inspection Process

The inspection tag

Next the PFE inspection process is to ensure the fire extinguisher is visible – this can be achieved by location markers, flags, signs or stickers. PFE stations are often made from bright red plastic or will have large signs indicating the PFE location. The point is that they must be conspicuously located and not obstructed.

Continuing the inspection process, the inspector must confirm that the PFE is accessible and not blocked in any way. PFE’s in cabinets must be free of obstructions that will prevent the cabinet door from opening. This is also true for fire extinguisher stands – the PFE must be accessible from all sides. Inspectors must clear the material and free the area around the PFE to allow access. For PFE’s in fixed locations, consider marking the floor around the PFE to designate the space not for storage. Do not tie fire extinguishers down with rope, wire, or any material that would make access difficult in an emergency.

Pressure Gauge

Proper gauge reading.

The following step is to check the pressure gauge on the PFE. The only acceptable position for the needle is in the green. The needle in the yellow or red indicates that the PFE is either over or undercharged. Extinguishers not in the green will not have sufficient pressure to discharge the extinguishing agent.

Part of the pressure gauge inspection requires verification of safety pin secured and affixed to the PFE by means of a tamper seal. The tamper seal holds the pin in place and prevents accidental discharge. If an extinguisher is missing the tamper seal, it must be replaced. The tamper seal holds the pin firmly but also breaks easily when pulled. This is to ensure the pin stays in place but also that an adult can break it and then use the PFE. do not secure Safety Pin with rope, wire, or zip-ties. Minimal effort needed when removing pin.

Ensure PFE Contains The Extinguishing Agent

Two methods: weighing or hefting the PFE. The weighing method is commonly used for extinguishers that do not have a pressure gauge. The weight of the extinguisher is confirmed by weighing the extinguisher and confirming the listed tag weight. Extinguishers with gauges use the Hefting process for inspection. Hefting requires the inspector to manually lift the PFE and overturn it to mix the extinguishing media in the cylinder. For ABC PFEs this would entail the inspector turning the PFE upside down and listening for the extinguishing media shift in the cylinder. If the media does not move on its own, the inspector can tap the bottom of the cylinder with their hand or a small rubber mallet. This process also ensures that the extinguishing media is loose and will flow properly from the nozzle.

The Last Step of Inspection

The final step for the inspector is to document the inspection on the monthly inspection tag (MIT). OSHA accepts documentation as proof that the PFE was inspected and is ready for use. Fire extinguishers require frequent inspections. 12-monthly inspections in a year.

Other important factors for PFE upkeep include intervals of maintenance and hydrostatic testing. Fire extinguisher maintenance cycles require disassembly of components for functionality check and reassembled after successful inspection. The same is true for hydrostatic testing with the added step of testing the cylinder for structural integrity. Any professional service will be able to identify what PFEs in your inventory require.

Summary

Portable fire extinguishers are a critical component to hot work operations at the jobsite. Inspecting fire extinguishers to ensure they are properly working condition provides safe working conditions at the project. Informed workers make safe projects and worksites. Hands on training is the best training you can provide your team. Trivent Safety’s OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 courses are excellent for providing a hands on safety training experience!

Fireworks! Stay safe this holiday season.

If you’re like me, you love this time of the year.  The weather is warmer, friends and family get to enjoy the outdoors.  On most evenings in my neighborhood you can smell the happiness from the grills.  Some nights it’s hamburgers and hotdogs, others it’s steak.  This is the time of year when children have no worries, just fun times with their friends and no fear of school tomorrow.  It’s also the time of year when we begin to hear the inevitable bang and pop coming from some distant house.  We know what that noise is, the pre 4th of July firework shows.

As a kid I remember me and my friends enjoying bottle rockets, black cats, and the random M80.  We were out at all hours; I’m sure making sleep difficult for all my poor neighbors.  Looking back on it, I realize how lucky we were.  In all my years of messing with fireworks, not one of my friends was ever injured.  Not a minor injury, and thankfully not a major injury.  Unfortunately, we did set a few fires, destroying a bush here and there.  I consider myself very lucky that there was not any major “incident” that follows me today.  For others though, they aren’t so lucky.

According to national reports, in 2017 alone there were 8 fatalities and almost 13,000 injuries that required medical attention due to fireworks.  The 4th of July is a special for us in America, most of us will spend the evening staring at the skies, enjoying the shows put on by our local communities.  But the 4th is not the only night for fireworks, 67% of the injuries occurred from June 16th, 2017 – July 16th, 2017.  We usually start having a significant increase in nightly fireworks a couple of weeks prior to the actual holiday and this is the problem.

The shows on the 4th of July are professional and are accompanied by fireman.  The shows that are put on in the neighborhoods are usually not.  Additionally, depending on the laws where you are, the fireworks are probably illegal.  Colorado, where I’m from, does not allow the use of any firework that explode or are intended to leave the ground.  I love firework shows, I love the 4th of July, and I enjoy having fun with my friends and family.  But when it comes to fireworks, I recommend leaving it to the professionals.  But if you are going to use fireworks, here are some recommended safety tips:

  • Check your local laws to see what you can and cannot legally use
  • Avoid drugs and alcohol if you’re going to set off fireworks.
  • Wear safety glasses
  • If you’re going to allow children to use fireworks, it should only be done under close adult supervision.
  • Do not light them near house, people, or other things that could possibly ignite.
  • Never light them indoors.
  • Stay away from “duds”. Do not pick up or handle fireworks that don’t explode.
  • Keep a hose, extinguisher, or bucket of water close by in case of an accidental fire.

I know some people will be setting off fireworks this year that shouldn’t be.  I personally recommend that you sit back and enjoy the show put on by your local community.  If you still want to use fireworks and you’re going to have your own show for the neighborhood, then please do it safely.

The Safety Dichotomy

Do you struggle to effectively deliver your safety message on site? Do you find yourself wondering why your message of going home the same way you showed up, not just for yourself, but your loved ones, does not seem to land home? Does it feel like you are just bouncing marbles off the wall sometimes?
