What is the maximum allowed travel distance from any point of a work area to a fire extinguisher "Class A"?

50 Feet
75 Feet
100 Feet
150 Feet

The correct answer is: 75 Feet

The maximum allowed travel distance from any point of a work area to a fire extinguisher for "Class A" fires is 75 feet. This regulation is in place to ensure that workers have quick access to fire safety equipment in the event of a fire, which can help prevent small fires from spreading and becoming more dangerous. Class A fires involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, and cloth. The 75-foot requirement allows for sufficient coverage in various work environments, ensuring that an individual can reach a fire extinguisher quickly without having to traverse excessive distances, which could increase the risk to personal safety. In settings where the risk of Class A fires is significant, the placement of extinguishers within this maximum distance is a crucial safety measure mandated by fire codes and regulations. This helps to mitigate potential hazards and enhances overall workplace safety.
