Fire Awareness and Fire Extinguisher Training:
Fire Extinguisher training helps your employees to both understand the differences between the various fire extinguishers, and effectively choose which to use in each fire situation. Delegates will learn about the different types of fire, the way in which it spreads and the best way to tackle it. All delegates will also receive practical training on the correct use of a fire extinguisher in a real-life simulation.
The course will be led by an experienced former senior Fire safety Officer. The course is delivered to encourage delegate participation and engagement, ensuring maximum learning and attention.
The presentation is usually delivered via PowerPoint, supported by video input, and includes practical training on the use of fire extinguishers.
Fire Extinguisher Commissioning;
Once installed, your fire extinguishers need to be commissioned by law. This means they’ve been thoroughly checked and approved as good for use.
Fire extinguishers are not compliant with UK fire extinguisher legislation until they have been commissioned, even if you have the right types and sizes of extinguisher in the right locations.
Commissioning means checking:
The extinguishers have been installed properly
Hoses and horns are attached correctly
Each extinguisher is the right weight and pressure
They are completely undamaged
Service label attached
Once these checks have taken place by your Triple S BAFE Certificated engineer, you will receive a certificate verifying that your extinguishers have been commissioned in accordance with UK regulations BS 5306-3:2017. If you have any questions over the different types of fire extinguishers, then please just get in touch – we’ll be more than happy to help.
Fire Extinguisher Servicing;
Fire extinguisher servicing should be conducted annually, with monthly visual self-checks, in-line with British Standard BS5306–3 & 8, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and your Fire Risk Assessment.
Servicing involves rigorous and comprehensive checking of all fire extinguisher components, by a competent, insured and authorised person, identifying faults, corrosion and partial or complete discharge.
Annually reviewing your Fire Risk Assessment is imperative and, should significant changes be identified, this could mean your current fire extinguishers may be incorrect and not compliant with your business insurance requirements.
