Which type of Fire Extinguisher do I need for my business?

Which type and how many depends on your Fire Risk Assessment and your business itself.

For instance, the versatility of a powder extinguisher – solids, flammable liquids and gases, electrical fires – makes it a popular choice. But, if your business involves catering or clothing, watch out, it leaves an almighty mess. So CO2 might be a better choice in combination with a water or foam extinguisher.

Essentially you need two things to be sure you make the right choice:

A professional risk assessment
An expert from Ocean Fire & Security to help you work out and install the best solution for your specific requirements

What are Fire Extinguisher ratings and why should I care?

The various types of extinguisher are rated on the types and size of fires they can effectively extinguish. The letter indicates the class of fire while the number denotes the size of fire it can extinguish in test conditions.

Obviously, the exact rating required depends on the specifics of your business. The experts at Ocean Fire & Security will ensure you choose the correctly rated extinguisher for your business. Get it wrong and you could be neglecting your duty of care to your employees.

How do I keep my extinguishers in good working order? Do they need to be tested or serviced?

Yes. Just like a car you need to keep your firefighting equipment in good working order. This requires a visual inspection each month to check for damage and a professional service to the current British Standard each year.

In addition, extinguishers need to be replaced every five to ten years as appropriate. Of course, if they have been used, they need to be replaced as soon as possible.

We can service all types of extinguisher, including Chubb - even if we did not originally carry out the installation.

Do I have to get my extinguisher mounted? Can’t I just put it in the corner on the floor?

All extinguishers need to be fixed in a permanent location. Leaving it in the corner on the floor is not an option. Those with contents of 3kg/litres (also 2kg CO2) must be wall mounted, if possible. In certain cases, wall mounting can be difficult, in which case stands can be used.

How many do I need?

Refer to your Fire Risk Assessment. It depends on the size of your premises and whether you are a low or high risk business. A rule of thumb for low risk businesses, ensure all employees are within 30m of a functional fire extinguisher. This is general advice and there are exceptions where extinguishers need to be within 10m of the fire risk.

It’s common sense, your employees need to get hold of one quickly, so your extinguishers need to be close to all areas where members of staff are likely to be. Also, you need to ensure all employees know where they are located.

What about signs for the extinguishers, are they really necessary?

Yes they are. If a fire breaks out, there is likely to be a certain amount of panic. It’s part of your duty of care to ensure this panic is kept to a minimum. Under stress, people can forget where they are located, it has to be absolutely obvious where your extinguishers are. Signs help with this and are critical! Emergency Lighting ensures that everything can be seen at night or if the power fails.

Ocean Fire & Security's experts will ensure your extinguishers are correctly sited and offer the best possible protection in case of fire.
