Keeping equipment ready
Fire safety equipment is only useful if it's accessible, visible and in working order. A few practical habits go a long way toward keeping a workplace prepared.
Keep access clear
Extinguishers, hose reels and cabinets should never be blocked by stock, furniture or equipment — even temporarily.
Check visibility and signage
Equipment should be clearly signed and easy to locate, especially for staff or visitors unfamiliar with the building layout.
Review as the space changes
As a facility's layout, stock or use changes, it's worth reviewing whether existing equipment placement and types still match the current risk profile.
Work with your supplier
A supplier who understands your facility can help identify gaps or equipment that needs replacing or repositioning as your requirements evolve.
