Fire Extinguishers are a requirement for all commercial building businesses and establishments. This includes businesses and establishments with and without a kitchen.
Employers must provide approved portable fire extinguishers in their establishment. In fact, all extinguishers require mounting in areas that are easily accessible to employees in case of a fire pursuant to the NFPA.

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires that all employees of a business are trained in the use of a portable fire extinguisher.
Steel Mountain can train all employees of a business or establishment. One popular option is to schedule training days with everyone and teach to one large group. This saves employers and employees substantial time away from their jobs.
Contact us today to enquire about your employee training.
OSHA has strict and specific requirements for portable extinguishers in a business or establishment. Annual inspections are required as well as maintained fire extinguisher; fully charged, operating properly, and kept in designated places at all times, except during use.
Steel Mountain has trained professionals who can service and inspect your portable fire extinguishers. They will check to see if they follow all of the OSHA requirements. Plus, they confirm all extinguishers are operational and in the proper places. That way you have peace of mind that your fire extinguisher is up to current fire safety standards when the Fire Marshal pays you a visit.
Fire Codes are regulations established by local authorities that dictate the minimum standards for fire safety in buildings.
Fire Safety Compliance means adhering to local, state, and federal regulations regarding fire safety measures in buildings.
You will want to consult with proper legal counsel to ensure you are aware of all regulations that apply to your business. Two organizations that are often involved in Fire Safety Codes are:
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is a nonprofit organization created to keep people safe from fires. For over 100 years the NFPA has established rules and regulations for all potential fire hazards. At Steel Mountain, we are committed to complying with these rules. This includes NFPA 96, which has to do with the protection of commercial cooking operations.
NFPA 96 is the National Fire Protection Associations Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations
Ansul systems like the R-102 use advanced proprietary wet chemicals to shut a fire down and keep it that way. It’s not enough to extinguish a flash fire thus preventing re-flash is absolutely critical. The R-102 uses Ansul’s Low pH Liquid Agent to immediately quell fires and cool the affected area. Then, the system forms a chemical “blanket” to prevent fuel sources like grease and electrical equipment from reigniting. If your fire protection system doesn’t give you this, you need to call Steel Mountain.
