FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Our Fireline engineers are fully qualified to inspect and service portable fire extinguishers. Extinguishers that are not maintained annually to the British Standard are no longer considered compliant.Under the British Standard, an extended service – otherwise known as discharge testing – is to be carried out at stipulated intervals. For water, foam, dry powder or wet chemical extinguishers, this is every 5 years. CO2 extinguishers require extended servicing every 10 years. In the case of powder or CO2 extinguishers, you will be offered a service exchange unit which is more practical and economical than emptying and refilling the contents.
FIRE ALARMS AND EMERGENCY LIGHTING
Commercial fire alarms should be serviced at a minimum of every 6 months. Our qualified engineers at Fireline service to the British Standard BS5839-1:2013. As fire safety specialists, we also supply and install a wide range of fire alarm systems, from wireless devices to more conventional systems. We also supply replacement keys for your call points. Fire alarm systems are covered by BS5389, which sets out a recommended programme of fire alarm testing and inspection, including weekly testing of a single manual call point to ensure the system activates, and full, periodic testing every 3 or 6 months with a stimulus such as smoke or heat by a competent company.

FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS
The Fire Risk Assessment is an important legal requirement under The Fire Safety Order 2005. The Responsible Person has a duty to ensure that the Risk Assessment is carried out, and actions are taken on works required in the Assessment. The Responsible Person is usually the employer, the person in control or owner of the building – or someone designated to the role. A Fire Risk Assessment is very important in an organisation’s fire safety strategy. The starting point is to identify fire risks and safe escape in the event of a fire, and it provides fundamental information on all aspects of fire safety from the correct extinguishers to the right category of alarm and necessary signage.
PAT TESTING
There is a legal responsibility on employers to comply with The Electricity at Work Regulations, which requires that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is regularly maintained and inspected, where:
- Appliances are used by employees, such as computers, kettles etc.
- The public may use appliances in establishments, such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc.
- Appliances are supplied or hired
- Appliances are repaired or serviced
FIRE BLANKETS
A fire blanket is a quick and effective method to suppress small fires which occur in the home or workplace. A fire blanket is made to specific safety standards and is tested to comply with BS EN 1869:1997 standards with a BSi Kitemark and BAFE rating (British Approvals for Fire Equipment). A fire blanket is not the same as a regular blanket you have at home. It is made from flame resistant or flame retardant materials, specifically designed to withstand fires at high temperatures, removing the oxygen from a fire and preventing any further damage. A blanket can also protect you when making a speedy exit from a large fire.
DRY RISERS
The responsible person for a building or site is legally required to maintain all firefighting equipment, including dry risers. The British Standard Code of Practice BS9990:2006 requires a full annual pressure test and six monthly visual check for dry risers for buildings above 18 metres and below 60 metres. (Buildings over 60 metres/18 storeys require wet risers). Clause 7 of the Code states that inlets, landing valves, drain valves and landing valve boxes should be inspected every 6 months and recommends that wet tests be carried out annually when the main can be checked for leaks.
