Your Fire Safety Equipment Checklist

The best way to prevent fires from happening is to have a holistic approach that takes into account your entire premises as well as training on the correct protocols. Part of that fire safety plan should include all the fire safety equipment you need to prevent, detect, and extinguish fires, should they occur. In this post, we’ll show you all the fire safety equipment you should have in your commercial property in Maidstone.

The importance of fire safety equipment

Businesses are required to have regular fire risk assessments to ensure their premises are compliant with government legislation. The Fire Safety Act of 2020 replaced the old Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005, so it’s crucial to comply with updated guidelines.

If you’re unsure if your business is following fire safety regulations, our team can conduct a fire risk assessment for you and give you a full report on any fire risks and a list of equipment you need to be installed in your property.

Your fire safety equipment checklist

To help you cover all your bases, here is a list of the fire equipment you need in your commercial property:

• Fire doors
• Fire extinguishers
• Fire alarms
• AOV systems
• Emergency lighting
• Fire safety training manual
• Fire risk assessment
• Maintenance and servicing schedule

It’s important to have all the equipment your building needs to keep staff safe. From the appropriate fire doors to prevent the spread of fire to your training manual, everything plays a role in preventing harm during a fire.

Regular maintenance and servicing

Once you have the appropriate equipment installed throughout your premises, you also need to schedule regular maintenance and servicing to keep your equipment working effectively.

This will ensure your fire alarms are inspected and checked regularly, your fire extinguishers are full, and there are no faults in your system.
