Fire Extinguishers

Contact our friendly team and find out what extinguisher is right for you. For a business we always recommend an extinguisher 2.5kg or larger. You have a duty of care and anything smaller runs a risk of not doing the job.

Always keep in mind that what you can do in your home is not always legal at a business. As an owner/occupier you are legally responsible to have your fire fighting equipment tested according to the Australian Standards (AS). AS1851:2005 states that an extinguisher must be checked every 6 months and pressure tested after 5 years. You must be able to upon request produce records showing that this testing occured.

Since your staff are responsible for your customers/parons or the workplace they should be trained to use fire fighting equipment like extinguishers. You must be able to produce records showing you provided induction and on-going training. 

Fire Extiguisher common sizes – from 1.0kg up to 9.0kg
