The installation process for fire extinguishers typically involves several key steps to ensure optimal fire safety and accessibility. First, strategic locations, known as fire points, are identified for the fire extinguishers, such as near fire exits or in high-risk areas like kitchens or workshops, ensuring they are easily visible and reachable by all. Next, the fire extinguishers are commissioned service which includes a thorough inspection to confirm that the pressure gauge is in the green (zone) and all parts are working, along with ensuring that all service labels are legible and fully compliant, then mounted at a height of no more than 1.2 metres from the floor, using appropriate fire extinguisher brackets and wall fixings, or positioned on fire extinguisher stands, that comply with British Standards BS5306 Parts 3 & 8. It’s crucial to ensure all fire extinguishers are secured safely to prevent accidents and enable ease of use.
