Fire extinguishers servicing UK is a legal requirement for the continued operation of your business.

Fire extinguishers are the primary method for putting out a fire in the workplace. It is the first opportunity an employee has to tackle a fire before it gets too dangerous. All employees should have evacuated the building and will be at the fire assembly point. If you are unsure whether you should tackle the fire, don't. Get out of the building and wait for the fire brigade. If you haven't ensured that the fire extinguishers have been serviced then you may not be able to extinguish the fire.

There are several types of fire extinguishers which should be used in different situations. Fire Extinguishers in the UK have coloured markings which let you know for what type of fire you should use the fire extinguishers on. Water fire extinguishers are the signal red colour which we all recognise. Foam fire extinguishers are red with a cream coloured panel above the operating instructions. Powder fire extinguishers are red with a blue panel above the operating instructions. Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers are also red with a black panel above the instructions.
