OSH ACT GENERAL DUTY CLAUSE Dealers are obligated to provide employees a place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to their employees. In addition to these violations, regulators will continue to audit your dealership for working fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers must be operational, accessible and receive monthly maintenance checks, with the latest inspection date noted on the tag attached to each extinguisher. Red and white “Fire Extinguisher”signs must be positioned on walls above each extinguisher. Train employees on proper use of fire extinguishers. Other requirements include having adequate first aid supplies if there is no hospital, clinic, or infirmary nearby. Contact the Dealer Hotline if you have any questions relating to OSHA compliance.
