How high to hang fire extinguisher sign

If an extinguisher weighs less than 40 lbs, the carrying handle should be no more than 5 ft from the ground. Any heavier than 40 lbs and the handle should be no more than 3.5 ft from the floor. These heights reflect the requirement that employees should be able to access a fire extinguisher without risking an injury.
