book FIRE SERVICING & inspectionAll fire extinguishers in Australia must be installed in accordance with Australian fire safety standards AS1851 and AS2444. Some of the compliance requirements for fire extinguishers include ensuring that they’re installed no less than 100 millimetres and no higher than 1200 millimetres from floor level.
Fire extinguishers must also be installed with correct signage outlining the location and clear instructions for operating the extinguisher in the event of a fire-related emergency. As fire extinguishers must be installed in line with Australian Standards, it’s best to engage a fire safety technician to ensure that your building’s fire extinguishers are installed correctly and responsibly.
Thankfully, our expert team of fire safety technicians here at Alexon possess over 20 years of experience with installing fire extinguishers. We ensure that your building or business premises are equipped to respond swiftly and safely in the event of a fire-related emergency by installing all the Essential Safety Measures (ESMs) you’ll be needing on-site, including fire extinguishers. Our fire safety technicians can offer a bespoke assessment of your property to determine how many fire extinguishers will need to be installed, as well as the classes of extinguishers that are best aligned with the fire safety needs for your premises.
Once we’ve completed the installation, you can rely on our Alexon team to service your fire extinguishers every 6 months in accordance with AS1851, and for the duration of their usable lifespan.
Australian fire safety standards stipulate that you need to have certain ESMs, including fire extinguishers, installed in all structures with residential occupancy permits and commercial zoning. Installing the right fire safety equipment is crucial for strata fire safety compliance. Failing to ensure that your fire extinguishers are installed in accordance with Australian fire safety standards may result in you receiving a fine or a building notice issued by local council officers or by your local fire safety authorities.
In addition to avoiding the risk of being hit with hefty penalties, confirm that your fire extinguishers are installed correctly to help ensure that they’re on-hand and ready to be used in the event of a fire-related emergency. Knowing that you can rely on your fire equipment when you need it most can naturally provide immense peace of mind. Making certain that your fire extinguishers are installed in compliance with AS 2444 will also streamline the process of securing and updating the Essential Safety Measures reports for your building or premises.
