Rule 801.
(1)
					 The rules apply to the placement, use, maintenance, and testing of portable
					 fire extinguishers provided for the use of employees.
					 29 CFR
					 1910.157(d) does not apply
					 to extinguishers provided for employee use on the outside of workplace
					 buildings or structures. Where extinguishers are provided but are not intended
					 for employee use and the employer has an emergency action plan and a fire
					 prevention plan that meet the requirements of
					 29 CFR
					 1910.38 and
					 29 CFR
					 1910.39, respectively, then only the
					 requirements of 29 CFR
					 1910.157(e) and (f) apply.
					 The provisions of this part are the minimum requirements for portable fire
					 extinguishers. A specific rule may be set forth in other general industry
					 safety standards where, due to process hazards, additional portable fire
					 extinguishers may be required.
Exemptions. Where the employer has established and
						implemented 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 and which includes an emergency action plan and a fire prevention plan
						which meets the requirements of
						29 CFR
						1910.38 and
						29 CFR
						1910.39 respectively, and when extinguishers
						are not available in the workplace, the employer is exempt from all
						requirements of this section unless a specific General Industry Safety and
						Health standard requires that a portable fire extinguisher be provided. Where
						the employer has an emergency action plan meeting the requirements of
						29 CFR
						1910.38, which designates certain employees
						to be the only employees authorized to use the available portable fire
						extinguishers, and which requires all other employees in the fire area to
						immediately evacuate the affected work area upon the sounding of the fire
						alarm, the employer is exempt from the distribution requirements in
						29 CFR
						1910.157(d).
