Question

question 14
when portable fire extinguishers are removed from service for maintenance and recharging, ____________ must be provided.
a fire watchers
b alternate equivalent protection
c two extinguishers fore every one fire extinguisher that is removed
d none of the above

Explanation:

When portable fire extinguishers are removed for maintenance and recharging, the key is to ensure that fire - protection capabilities are not compromised. Fire watchers (Option A) are individuals who monitor for fire hazards but do not directly replace the extinguishing function. Option C's ratio of two extinguishers for every one removed is not a standard requirement. The standard safety practice is to provide alternate equivalent protection (Option B) to maintain the same level of fire - protection as when the extinguishers were in place.

Answer:

B. alternate equivalent protection
