Fire Extinguishers for Commercial Premises

A vital line of defence when fire strikes

Did you know that no occupants of your building should ever be more than 30 meters away from any fire extinguishers? Or that you need CO2 fire extinguishers weighing at least 2kg if your premises contain electrical equipment?

If you own, run or manage a commercial premises, these are just two of your legal requirements you must comply with under the Fire Safety Order 2005. But even more importantly, having fire extinguishers of the right types, in the right places and in full working order can potentially save lives.

Commercial Fire Protection is here to help you keep your business safe and compliant, through assessment, maintenance, and supply of all types of fire extinguishers.

Commercial Fire extinguishers: how can we help?

Your starting point with fire extinguishers should be your Fire Risk Assessment, which will identify any risks within your premises that need addressing. By law, this assessment must be carried out regularly by a competent person.

As fully-accredited members of the Institute of Fire Managers, CFP’s qualified fire risk assessors have the experience and credentials to take care of this for you. The results of your assessment will include recommendations for the placement of different types of fire extinguishers, including:

Water fire extinguishers for wood, paper and textiles
Dry powder fire extinguishers for wood, paper, textiles, flammable liquid, gaseous fires and live electrical equipment
Foam fire extinguishers for wood, paper, textiles and flammable liquid
Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers for flammable liquid and live electrical equipment
Wet chemical fire extinguishers for wood, paper, textiles and cooking oil fires

Keep your fire extinguishers Maintained and in perfect working order

Keeping fire extinguishers maintained is absolutely critical for fire safety, and for legal compliance. A certified, BAFE-qualified fire extinguisher engineer must service all of your extinguishers at least once a year, to ensure they are in good working condition, within their expiry dates, at the correct weight and pressure, and still carrying clear instructions and labels.

CFP’s qualified engineers can conduct these assessments for you, identify any replacement fire extinguishers needed, and issue a report that can demonstrate your compliance.
