Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 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. The employer does not ensure that their fire extinguishers are readily accessible to employees without subjecting them to possible injury. This violation was most recently observed on September 24, 2019 at Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.'s 2300 Roosevelt Ave Marinette, WI 54143 location. The fire extinguisher located next to the exit door in the store room is not readily accessible as boxes of product surround two sides prohibiting employee access in the case of emergency. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that its fire extinguishers are readily accessible at all times. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including a description of how these steps protect its employees from blocked fire extinguishers.
