['Fire Protection and Prevention']

Fire extinguishers may be mounted in any location that is easily accessible to employees. They should never have to use a ladder to reach an extinguisher. OSHA allows this flexibility to ensure that employees can obtain extinguishers as fast as possible.
If your company decides to use fire extinguishers, it is responsible for the proper selection and distribution of those extinguishers. You must also ensure that the extinguishers provide the necessary degree of protection for the hazards present in your workplace.
