Please note, as a general guide, one fire extinguisher is required for every 15 meters of floor space you have. This becomes more complex depending on the environment of your site. Fire blanket testing is extremely important, as they are perfect for Class F fires (which involve cooking fats and oils) as well as clothing fires. This means that fire blankets need to be immediately accessible and safe for use in an emergency. However, our Fire Technicians will be able to accurately install, maintain and service in accordance with your requirements.

Having extinguishers in the workplace and making your team aware of them is crucial in protecting your businesses future. Hence, ensuring that your workplace has routine fire extinguisher testing and fire blanket testing is essential for the safety of you and your employees.
