Fire extinguisher maintenance is crucial to ensure that it is in good working condition in case of an emergency.
The process involves regular inspections, testing, and refilling or replacement if necessary.
It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and seek professional help if you are unsure about any aspect of the maintenance process.
How many fire extinguishers do I need?
The regulations state that a minimum of two Class A fire extinguishers on every floor of a building are needed, unless the premises are very small, in which case one may be acceptable.
Siting of fire extinguishers
Fire extinguishers need to be easily accessible and clearly visible. It is recommended to place water-based and CO2 fire extinguishers near exits and fire alarm call-points in order to prompt individuals to evacuate the area in case of a fire.
​
Commissioning
A competent individual, typically certified by a third-party fire protection company, must conduct on-site commissioning of fire extinguishers. This process entails a comprehensive inspection to verify their suitability for the intended purpose. Upon completion of the necessary tasks, Fire First will furnish a certificate as evidence of their adherence to the regulations.
