Consolidated Fire Extinguisher and Fire Door Servicing
Fire extinguishers and fire doors are two critical components of any fire safety system.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that all businesses must have fire extinguishers readily available and visible at all times.
Fire doors also fall under this ruling, with the maintenance of them being a key requirement for every business to which the Order applies.
Consolidated Servicing
As part of Churches Fire & Security’s dedication to complete servicing, our technicians are often multi-disciplined. This means that they are qualified to maintain and service both fire extinguishers and fire doors, often during one site visit.
To remain compliant with the current British Standard (BS 5306-3), a yearly service is required on fire extinguishers. You can arrange for your fire doors to receive a visual inspection during the same service visit, consolidating your fire safety maintenance, reducing the need for multiple site visits.
Recommendations on extinguishers and fire doors, as well as other services such as fire alarms and emergency lighting, can be provided whilst our technician is on site, further saving time and money on additional visits.
Fire Extinguisher Servicing
Our technicians work with customers to ensure they are meeting the required standards when it comes to their fire safety equipment.
Upon arrival at the site, the Churches technician will ask to view the Fire Risk Assessment. This document will indicate any previous fire safety actions, recommendations from previous visits and if any immediate action is required to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
When the technician is satisfied that they are aware of any potential health and safety requirements whilst on-site, they can begin servicing the extinguishers on-site using a location list, detailing the type and location of all portable fire extinguishers present.
During the service, our technicians will also review and advise in relation to other fire safety services, to ensure the customer is compliant with the law.
Once all fire extinguishers have been inspected, updated, or removed as required, the technician will discuss any findings, concerns and recommendations.
Your responsibilities
The visual inspection of fire extinguishers should be performed every month, to look for signs of damage. Watch our short video below to find out how to carry out the monthly checks.
