Fire Extinguisher Supply Our FETA
certified designers can design a portable-fire extinguisher
specification suitable for your premises. We supply, commission
and maintain all types of portable fire extinguishers: Dry
Powder, AFFF Foam, Water, CO2, Wet Chemical and Fire Blankets.
It is not only important to understand which extinguishers can
be used on which type of fire but also which is the best to use
in each individual circumstance. How big an area can one
extinguisher cover? If it is physically too big can your staff
lift and operate it safely? Have you considered business
continuation? Some extinguishers may put out the fire but leave
a HUGE mess behind them ? Not great in a kitchen, clothing store
or electronics shop.
There is indeed more than one way to skin a cat but specifying
extinguishers relevant to potential fuels, location size,
staffing requirements etc. is really best left to a FETA / BAFE
certified professional.
Many customers ask ?Do I even need extinguishers?? if you are
unsure watch our brief video below which should answer most
questions.
Fire Extinguisher Servicing
It is a legal requirement to have extinguishers serviced
annually in line with BS306. Following a service visit we
provide you with twelve-month ?Certificate of Compliance? to
place with your fire-safety management documentation.
Every type of extinguisher requires an annual basic service but
many require an extended service on five year intervals. The
life-span and replacement requirements also vary depending upon
the type of extinguisher used.
This produces much confusion regarding annual service charges
(e.g. which require a basic service, an extended service,
overhauls, replacements etc.) Many extinguisher companies seem
quite happy with this veil of confusion surrounding annual
charges. This following video however explains the simple rules
behind servicing regime and demonstrates our unique tool to keep
you in charge of your annual maintenance budgets.
Extinguisher Requirements
- Must be commissioned onsite immediately prior to fitting
- Must be serviced annually.
- Must be inspected monthly by the customer.
- Operators must be trained in the use of extinguishers.
