Guys,
I am in need of some information on Extinguishers. I did a search and read quite a bit but it's not clear to me what types to have in the shop. Some just referred to dry or ABC.....?
We are moving into new space it's a sweet deal for us but everything needs to be 100% code. I was asked yesterday what type/types of fire extinguishers we required, how many and where they would be located on the floor plan.
Our new shop is currently being constructed on the fourth floor of a building that was originally built in the 1940's to service and supply the U.S. Navy on Bostons water front. The building is built like a brick shit house all concrete and steel construction.
We have four CNC lathes HAAS SL-20's and Hurco TM6 machines. We also have four CNC Mills HAAS VF-2SS machines. We have two ProtoTraks and two manual Hardinge lathes along with a vertical and horizontal band saws.
I was thinking we should have at least four CO2 and an equal number of dry Chemical extinguishers. My question is What type of dry Chemical extinguisher should be used in the shop ?
Thanks for the help !!
