Halo Fire Ltd specialises in the servicing and maintenance of fire extinguishers throughout Leicestershire and surrounding counties.

Fire extinguishers are a vital consideration to fulfil a fire risk assessment for businesses and organisations but more importantly, they are potentially life saving first aid equipment. Neglecting regular servicing and maintenance of your fire equipment may result in them failing to perform adequately which could put lives at risk.

Under the Fire Safety Order (FSO), you are known as the ‘Responsible Person’ if you are an owner, landlord or occupier of a business or other non-domestic premises. You will be responsible for the fire safety within your organisation. The Fire Safety Order (FSO) also applies if you have paying guests e.g. if you run a bed and breakfast, guesthouse or let a self-catered property.

As the responsible person, you have the legal duty under the FSO to ensure that the fire extinguishers within the workplace are regularly serviced to maintain their good working order if needed. British Standards advises that all extinguishers should be visually inspected by the responsible person at least monthly and that the extinguishers should be serviced by a competent person (someone who has the relevant training and qualification to service extinguishers) at least every annually.

Our engineers at Halo Fire Ltd are trained and qualified to BS 5306 pt 3 to carry out the servicing of your fire extinguishers.

 If you would like to arrange for one of our engineers to service your extinguishers or if you have any questions, please get in touch.
