Fire Extinguishers
Employers have a legal responsibility under the Fire Safety Order (FSO) to ensure that fire extinguishers within the workplace are maintained and serviced, so that they are kept in good repair and working order. To ensure compliance with this legislation, a 'responsible person' within your organisation should carry out a visual inspection to confirm that the extinguisher has not been damaged or accidentally discharged. These inspections should ideally be carried out at monthly intervals, but certainly no more than quarterly. British Standard 5306-3:2000 covers the maintenance of portable fire extinguishers, and recommends that “regular visual inspections of all portable fire extinguishers be carried out by the user or user’s representative. Service has to be completed by Competent Quantum Leap Safety Services Engineer
