Good Practice
This image shows an example of a safe work practice.
Summary Statement
OSHA requires that fire extinguishers be "conspicuous" on construction jobs. This approach keeps them off the floor and away from large objects that can block extinguishers. The arrow makes the unit even taller and more obvious. Note the spray-painted tripping hazard.
