Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.150(c)(1)(i): A fire extinguisher, rated not less than 2A, was not provided for each 3,000 square feet of the protected building area, or major fraction thereof: a) Construction site, American House, Perkasie PA - The employer does not ensure that portable fire extinguishers are provided. This continuing violation was most recently observed on November 2, 2015, when portable fire extinguishers were not provided on site for employees where flammable liquids were in use for refueling a gas powered compressor. The employer's ongoing obligation is to ensure that the appropriate number of fire extinguishers are placed within the worksite based upon the anticipated fire hazard and the worksite's physical layout.
