Is your fire safety equipment certified and ready?

Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are a safety precaution that saves innocent lives daily in the UK; they are a british legal requirement in all public space buildings. These can be undervalued but would be the first thing you would look for if a minor, manageable fire broke out in your building. Fire extinguishers are a life-saving tool because they act as the first line of defence in a fire outbreak to escape the premises.
