Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.157(c)(1): The employer shall provide portable fire extinguishers and shall mount, locate and identify them so that they are readily accessible to employees without subjecting the employees to possible injury. On or about 24 July 2019, the employer did not ensure that fire extinguishers were mounted and readily available. There were several fire extinguishers that were not mounted on the wall and were laying around the shop areas. This exposed employees to a burn hazard. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.19(d).
