​

What you should do?

How often should fire extinguishers be tested?

​

If you are responsible for fire safety within your business then, to meet

current fire safety regulations, you need to make sure Fire Extinguisher

Servicing is carried out annually.

​

A straightforward visual inspection should be carried out monthly,

where the location, condition, tamper seals and pressure gauges for

every extinguisher should be checked and documented.

​

If your monthly visual inspection identifies any damage or a drop in pressure, then we advise you to book a Fire Extinguisher Service to make sure your extinguishers are in full working order in the event of a fire.

​

Fire Extinguisher Supply & Maintenance...

Fire extinguisher maintenance is carried out annually:

• It involves comprehensive checks for damage, corrosion and partial or complete discharge.

• Reference is made at all times to the manufacturers' specific instructions and recommendations on servicing and recharging.

• Once the service is complete, the fire extinguisher is labelled and tagged to specify performed service (i.e. inspection, test, refill or recharge).

 

Do I need to Service my Fire Extinguishers?

• The Fire Scotland Act 2005 firmly places responsibility for Extinguisher servicing with the owner/employer within all commercial premises.

• All fire extinguishers fitted in commercial, Industrial, residential and public buildings require regular tests and inspections.

• In order to remain safe, British Standard Code of Practice BS5306-3:2009 recommends that your fire extinguishers are serviced at least once a year by qualified technicians.

• Firewise (Scotland) can provide these services, to ensure your workplace is safe at a cost effective price.

 

Once we carry out a free survey and we know the site specific requirements we will then install the correct equipment for you. The extinguishers will be commissioned/serviced and a compliant certificate will be sent to you.

All records will be kept and we will contact you when the next annual service is due.
