Safety Tips & Reminders For Your Business

Requirements for Exits, According to OSHA
  • Exits must be separated from the workplace by fire resistant materials––that is, a one-hour fire-resistance rating if the exit connects three or fewer stories, and a two-hour fire-resistance rating if the exit connects more than three floors.
  • Exits can have only those openings necessary to allow access to the exit from occupied areas of the workplace or to the exit discharge. Openings must be protected by a self-closing, approved fire door that remains closed or automatically closes in an emergency.
  • Keep the line-of-sight to exit signs clearly visible always.
  • Install “EXIT” signs using plainly legible letters.  Continue reading here: OSHA

You can usually find fire extinguishers in hallways, laundry rooms, meeting rooms, kitchens, mechanical/electrical rooms, and near exit doors. Keep the area around your fire extinguishers clear.

To prevent fire extinguishers from being moved or damaged, they should be mounted on brackets or in wall cabinets with the carrying handle placed 3-1/2 to 5 feet above the floor. Larger fire extinguishers need to be mounted at lower heights with the carrying handle about 3 feet from the floor.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"These guys really help you with your fire extinguisher and emergency light issues. So I found them online and called and talked to the owner not a answering service or automated phone thing, then a service guy came and explained a lot of safety tips with me and stuff I didn't ever think of, so the fire inspector from the city fire department came to check out my fire equipment was impressed with how fast I got the EFR service company to take care of my fire extinguisher inspection. I am happy with the price." Mike P. Orland Park
