A claims log entry raises this question: what extinguisher coverage applies in protected building areas?
Correct Answer
A) At least one 2A extinguisher per 3,000 sf or major fraction, within 100 ft travel
At least one 2A extinguisher per 3,000 sf or major fraction, within 100 ft travel is the controlling requirement.150(c)(1)(i). Other choices: the distractors are related-looking contract or field terms, but they do not match the cited requirement for review item 136.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
At least one 2A extinguisher per 3,000 sf or major fraction, within 100 ft travel is the controlling requirement.150(c)(1)(i).
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Limit fire extinguishers to one extinguisher per trailer only
Choice B gives One extinguisher per trailer only. Its specific error: the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Fire extinguishers.
Option C: Apply the One 1A per 10,000 sf limit to the fire extinguishers check, leaving fire extinguishers unverified
Choice C (One 1A per 10,000 sf) is rejected because One 1A per 10,000 sf is a different published number than the cited Fire extinguishers value; 29 CFR 1926.150(c)(1)(i) supports.
Option D: Apply none until sprinklers are active to the fire extinguishers condition
In general project requirements, None until sprinklers are active is the wrong selection for Fire extinguishers: it leaves out the controlling Fire extinguishers result.
Memory Technique
Treat fire extinguishers like a labeled shelf; only the matching condition belongs with At least one 2A extinguisher per 3,000 sf or major fraction, within 100 ft travel.
Reference Hint
Open 29 CFR 1926 OSHA Construction Standards; use 29 CFR 1926.150(c)(1)(i) to confirm that At least one 2A extinguisher per 3,000 sf or major fraction, within 100 ft travel is the controlling requirement.150(c)(1)(i).
