Portable fire extinguishers are effective against small
fires -- but only if
equipment is properly
placed, efficiently
maintained, and used by trained individuals. If your work involves this critical first defense, you need the latest NFPA 10.
OSHA relies on NFPA 10 to develop its workplace training
regulations because it contains the clearest, most widely
accepted rules for distribution and placement,
maintenance, operation, inspection, testing, and
recharging. And only the 2002 edition provides:
Clarified Class C requirements
Important changes to Class K requirements
A new mandate for Class K extinguishers for fryer
protection in commercial kitchens
An all-new provision for electronic monitoring of
equipment
The revised format meets NFPA's Manual of Style,
making this edition the most user-friendly ever. Match the
right extinguisher to the job, and give equipment its best
chance against fire with the new, improved NFPA 10!
