29 CFR 1910.157(g)(2):       The educational program to familiarize employees with the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with incipient stage fire fighting was not provided to all employees upon initial employment, and at least annually thereafter:      Note:  Applies where employees are expected to fight fires.      At the time of inspection, the employer did not have an educational program to train employees on the principles of fire extinguisher use in the workplace and the hazards involved with incipient stage fire fighting.      Note:  Employer may exercise one of the following options:      1)  Provide portable fire extinguishers as specified in 29 CFR 1910.157(c)(1), meet the   distribution requirements per 29 CFR 1910.157(d) (75' to the nearest extinguisher for Class A   fires and 50" to the nearest unit for Class B fires) and provide training and education for all  employees in the use of such equipment and the hazards associated with incipient stage fire   fighting as required in 29 CFR 1910.157(g).  The other sections of 29 CFR 1910.157 also   apply.      2)   Provide extinguishers as specified in 29 CFR 1910.157(c)(1),  designate certain employees  to be the only employees authorized to use such equipment and require all other employee to  immediately evacuate upon the sounding of the fire alarm, establish this in writing in an   emergency action plan as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.38(c) and train/educate designated employees  per 1910.157(g).  Utilizing this option exempts the employer from distribution requirements of   29 CFR 1910.157(d).      3)   Establish a written fire safety policy which requires the immediate and total evacuation of   employees from the workplace upon the sounding of a fire alarm signal.  This policy includes  an emergency action plan and a fire prevention plan as specified in 29 CFR 1910.38 (a)  and (b).  Utilizing this option exempts the employer from requirements of 29 CFR 1910.157 to  include the need for providing portable fire equipment unless a specific standard requires that  a portable fire extinguisher be provided (such as those requirements in 29 CFR 1910.106/107  relating to use/storage of flammable/combustible liquids).  If extinguishers are provided but no   intended for employee use, 29 CFR 1910.157(a) and (f) are still applicable (inspection,  maintenance and testing of equipment).
