FIRE EXTINGUISHER SERVICES

 Where are fire extinguishers required?It is mandatory that fire extinguishers should be sited in any building where the public have access. A minimum of two Class A fire extinguishers are required per floor dependent on floor size. These should be clearly visible and accessible at all times. Extinguishers should be suitable for dealing with the appropriate type of fire risk.

• 5 years - All fire extinguishers, with the exception of C02 and factory sealed pressure extinguishers, must have an extended discharge and maintenance check every 5 years.
• 10 years - C02 and factory sealed pressure extinguishers must have an extended discharge and maintenance every 10 years.
• Monthly - The customer should carry out a visual check.
