How do I know which type of fire extinguisher I need?
he type of extinguisher you need depends on the potential fire risks in your environment. For example:
Water Extinguishers – Ideal for fires involving wood, paper, and textiles (Class A).
Foam Extinguishers – Suitable for Class A and B fires, such as those involving flammable liquids.
CO₂ Extinguishers – Best for electrical fires and flammable liquids (Class B).
Powder Extinguishers – Multi-purpose, covering Class A, B, and C fires.
Wet Chemical Extinguishers – Specifically for kitchen fires involving cooking oils and fats (Class F).
Are fire extinguishers a legal requirement for businesses?
Yes, under UK fire safety regulations, all businesses must have appropriate fire extinguishers based on their specific fire risks. Employers must also ensure they are regularly serviced and maintained.
How many fire extinguishers do I need for my business?
The number of fire extinguishers required depends on the size and nature of your premises. As a general rule:
There should be at least one Class A extinguisher per 200m² of floor space.
Businesses handling flammable materials or electrical equipment should have suitable extinguishers for these risks.
We can conduct a fire safety assessment to determine the correct number and type of extinguishers for your property.
How often do fire extinguishers need to be serviced?
Fire extinguishers must be serviced annually by a qualified technician in accordance with BS 5306-3. Additionally:
They should undergo a basic visual check monthly to ensure they are in good condition.
Some extinguishers need a discharge test every five years.
CO₂ extinguishers require a pressure test every ten years.
Why is fire extinguisher servicing important?
Servicing ensures your extinguishers are fully functional and compliant with UK regulations. A poorly maintained extinguisher may fail to work in an emergency, putting lives and property at risk.
What happens during a fire extinguisher service?
During servicing, we:
✔ Inspect the extinguisher for damage, corrosion, or pressure loss.
✔ Check the weight and pressure levels.
✔ Replace damaged or expired parts, such as seals or safety pins.
✔ Conduct discharge tests (if necessary).
✔ Ensure compliance with UK fire safety standards.
