Scenario: 5.1

Your office receives a complaint, (on this date) from a Julie Miller who states that she is the secretary at Joe’s Woodworking Shop located at 451 Chestnut St, Sligo Ohio 15432. Mrs. Miller is calling because the owner, Mr. Joe Davis, has decided that he no longer feels it necessary to have portable fire extinguishers in his shop as a cost saving measure. In addition she advises that exits are locked and/or blocked by storage. She feels this is creating a very dangerous situation due to the wood working processes used by Joe’s Woodworking Shop.

Field Inspection: You conduct the field inspection on the same date as the complaint was received. Upon arrival at Joe’s Woodworking Shop you are greeted by Mr. Joe Davis and he agrees to show you around the facility. During the inspection you find that there are no portable fire extinguishers located throughout the building and exit doors at the rear of the building are locked from the inside using slide bolts. In addition, one exit is obstructed by lumber storage and one is padlocked from the inside. Mr. Davis states that he had all of the portable fire extinguishers removed after they all failed their last inspection. He further states he did not see the need for replacement as they were never used and the local fire department is only a few blocks away. With respect to the exits, Mr. Davis states he has limited storage space and to stay in business he must store lumber in the exit. In addition, the rear exit is padlocked to keep employees from leaving to take smoke breaks.
