Fire Extinguisher Installation & Servicing for Warehouses

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO) aims to establish a base level of fire safety for non-residential buildings. This includes workplaces such as factories and warehouses, where a “responsible person” must be appointed to regularly evaluate, implement, and upkeep fire safety measures.

 

To ensure safety, it’s important to use different methods of suppression for different types of fire. Therefore, we recommend having a variety of extinguishers in each warehouse, based on the types of materials being stored. For more information on which fire extinguishers would be best suited for your building, get in touch with a member of our team.

Warehouse Fire Extinguisher Maintenance

It’s important to note that all fire extinguishers in your warehouse need to be serviced and maintained regularly. This helps to ensure the device is not only in perfect working order, but it also provides an opportunity for any faults or damage to be identified before they become a serious hazard. We offer maintenance contracts which provide regular servicing, as well as emergency call outs if required.

How to Choose the Right Fire Extinguisher for Your Building

Choosing the right fire extinguisher depends on how a building is used, who occupies it, and the types of fire risks present. For example, offices, warehouses, kitchens, and industrial sites all require different extinguisher types based on potential hazards such as electrical equipment, flammable liquids, or cooking oils. A fire risk assessment is used to determine the correct type, number, and location of extinguishers. This ensures suitable coverage across the building and that the right extinguisher is available for each risk.

 

Ease of use is also important. Staff should be trained to recognise different extinguisher types and understand how to use them safely in an emergency. All equipment should meet UK fire safety regulations and support compliance with standards such as BS 5306, as well as insurance requirements.

Fire Extinguisher Placement and Maintenance Requirements

Fire extinguishers should be positioned so they are easy to see, access, and use in an emergency. They are typically located along escape routes, near exits, and close to specific hazards such as kitchens or electrical equipment, without placing users at risk when accessing them. Placement should ensure extinguishers are clearly visible and not obstructed, with signage used where needed. They should be installed at appropriate distances so occupants can reach them quickly without travelling too far.

 

UK standards such as BS 5306 provide guidance on positioning and servicing. Routine visual checks should be carried out regularly to confirm extinguishers are in place and undamaged. Also, formal servicing should be completed at least annually by a competent provider to ensure continued reliability and compliance.
