Reference

A fire blanket cannot satisfy an OSHA extinguisher requirement - 29 CFR 1910.157 governs portable fire extinguishers and does not mention blankets at all, and a blanket carries no class or capacity rating. This guide covers the rating gap, the two jobs a blanket genuinely does better, and where it is the wrong tool entirely.

Most workplace fires start small enough to stop with a portable extinguisher, but only when you pick the right class and use it correctly. This guide explains the PASS method step by step, decodes fire classes A through K, walks through a real ABC unit, and covers the OSHA training rule and when to evacuate.
