​Regulations and servicing of your extinguishers

This Regulations guide is only a brief introduction. For further information please refer to BS EN3 BS 5306 part 3 and 8, Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
​
By law, employers must provide their staff with adequate means of tackling a fire in the workplace. There is also a legal obligation for a competent person to annually service the fire extinguishers to standard BS 5306 part 3. In addition, all fire extinguishers must be maintained in working order and in good repair in between the services. This means that workplaces must also ensure that they carry out their own checks, at least monthly.
