Case Study – Fire Extinguishers For New Office Unit

Francis Fire, the Cheshire Fire Extinguisher Company, was requested to attend a new office unit in Middlewich, by the Responsible Person (RP) under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Fire Safety Act 2022. The RP had recently moved into the multi-occupancy business centre.

As part of the lease for the unit, Portable Handheld Fire Extinguishers for First Aid Firefighting use were required to be put in place.

Upon arrival, our skilled BAFE Accredited Engineer measured the overall ground floor unit area, considering all elements under British Standards BS5306-8, including the communal area existing A-class extinguishers.

A-Class fire risks were identified throughout the unit – these consist of general combustibles such as wood, paper, and fabric Etc. Electrical fire risks were also identified throughout the unit – electrical equipment such as computers, extension leads, and processing equipment Etc. were in place throughout the unit.
