FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

The current standard for servicing and maintenance of fire extinguishers here in Ireland is: IS 291 : 2002 “The use, siting, inspection and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers”. Proper maintenance of your fire extinguishers is absolutely essential for the safety of personnel and protection of your property. The various standards and legislation require that firefighting equipment is serviced and inspected at specific intervals by a competent person. For fire extinguishers the general requirements are an annual service by a competent person and monthly inspections by responsible in house personnel.

As part of our service of your fire extinguishers we check all extinguishers to ensure that:

• They are sited correctly and easily accessible ready for use and have identification signs indicating the type and the class of fire the extinguisher can be used on.
• They are free from rust, corrosion or leaks.
• Each extinguisher is within the correct weight limits.
• The pressure gauge needle is in the green zone.
• There is no evidence of tampering and that the safety pin is in place.
• The extinguisher has a signed self-adhesive label affixed to the body of the vessel showing the date of inspection and the work carried out.

A report giving details of the service and the number and type of extinguishers on site will be provided along with a Certificate of inspection for your records.

In addition to Fire Extinguishers we also provide other fire-fighting equipment & accessories such as;

• Fire Blankets
• Fire Hose Reels
