 Hey guys, been reading this thread on fire suppression. I have decades of =
experience in loss control and with OSHA, NFPA and other government regs. I=
nteresting reads if you're having trouble sleeping. Requirements for this e=
quipment can be found in OHSA 1910.157 and a fair number of NFPA standards =
which are referenced in OSHA standards therefore enforceable.

First, using water as an extinguishing agent around any welding equipment i=
s ill advised. Welders and other machine tools require lots of electricity,=
 particularly if you have 220/3 phase or higher power. Water for quenching =
is one thing but for fires around electrical circuits is something else. If=
 you don't want to expose your equipment to chemicals or water fire blanket=
s will work for small incipient stage fires.

All fire extinguishers should be Class ABC and placed at either 50 ft or 70=
ft depending on the function of the business. With welding it will most lik=
ely be 50 ft. If you are working with magnesium then a Class D extinguisher=
 is required. Size is not specified but for industrial 5 lb is the norm for=
 portable extinguishers.
Inspection of fire extinguishers is multi level. Every month the employer m=
ust document the inspection of the extinguisher to insure the and extinguis=
her is stored in it's designated place, there is no damage or missing parts=
, and pressure is adequate or in the "green". Each year the extinguisher mu=
st be inspected by a certified technician for a variety of items but mostly=
 for weight and certification of the extinguisher.
First aid kits are not a regulatory requirement unless you are more than a =
certain time away from medical assistance (clinic or EMT) but are always a =
great idea. Make up your own kit rather than purchase kits that have items =
you will never use and are generally short on high use items. Super glue an=
d terri/steri strips are a good item to include for small cuts. Knuckle and=
 finger tip band aids are good to have as well.

One of the interesting things about government regs is they frequently cont=
radict themselves or are confusing. As for fire extinguishers 1910.157 requ=
ires fire extinguishers but also prohibit any one who is not trained annual=
ly from using an extinguisher.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Past employers ge=
nerally billed me out at $300/hr but FOT people get a huge discount.

FOT,

I have been lucky to work in some very well run industrial environments wit=
h world class safety equipment.=C2=A0 As we know, the stuff costs money and=
 a lot of people work without most of it in their own environments.

We have been updating a lot of items in the areas that we work on car and c=
ar parts.=C2=A0 It is fun to spend money on tools and equipment.=C2=A0 Howe=
ver, safety equipment is not always as fun.=C2=A0 Near where we live, two p=
retty smart people have had fires damage their garages and parts of their h=
ouses before the fire department could arrive.=C2=A0 While I was running la=
rge car dealerships and body shops, I can tell you that fire extinguishers =
did need to be used from time to time.=C2=A0 Fortunately we had them and ne=
ver needed to make a call to the fire department, because the right things =
were in the right places.

Therefore, we just upgraded all of our safety equipment.=C2=A0 Including:

1.=C2=A0 Splatter/spark screens for areas that we weld or grind
2.=C2=A0 High quality US made fire extinguishers with plenty of capacity, i=
ncluding mounting them in the the trailer for at the track.=C2=A0 Some fire=
s can be spread really quickly by hitting the with H20.=C2=A0 Generally spe=
aking water will not put out burning oil fire.=C2=A0 However, it will sprea=
d the burning oil all over really quickly.
3.=C2=A0 Spark resistant blankets for use when we are welding in areas that=
 things should be covered
4.=C2=A0 Making sure all flammables are stored safely and away from areas t=
hat could have sparks
5.=C2=A0 New and updated smoke detectors, heat sensors and Carbon Monoxide =
monitors where they can be used (not where we tune engines)

Obviously common sense can prevent a lot of accidents.=C2=A0 Therefore, I t=
hough it would be interesting to see what the group has done in their work =
areas.

Does anyone have anything else that keep around that they feel is helpful f=
or shop area/garage safety?
