Helping you to take steps to a safer and healthier environment!
We supply and maintain fire extinguishers across the region and are accredited to BAFE SP101, this ensures that our customers are receiving a quality product and service.
Appropriate fire fighting equipment must be provided. That fire fighting equipment must be properly maintained. and that all employees must be adequately trained in fire action to be taken.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (“RRFSO”)* comes into force in October 2006 and applies to most businesses. This legislation will make it the legal duty of the Responsible Person in an organisation to ensure the competence of those who supply and maintain the fire detection and fire fighting equipment.
This legal duty can be reliably fulfilled by ensuring your suppliers in these areas have the appropriate UKAS accredited third party accreditation.
Your fire detection and fire fighting equipment has to be manufactured, installed and maintained in accordance with the relevant British Standards to ensures that it will be deemed to be ‘suitable’ and ‘adequate’ and ‘properly maintained’. The appropriate certification by a UKAS-accredited independent third party guarantees this.
Failure to have equipment manufactured, installed and maintained in accordance with the relevant British Standards is likely to be a breach of many insurance policies and may well have the effect of invalidating your insurance cover.
Our team of engineers are able to assist with advising you of the correct level of coverage and type of extinguishers that you require for your environment.
