“What if I am only a small business in a tiny office space… do I still need extinguishers?”

YES. The owner/manager of virtually every kind of premises are required to ensure the safety of their staff and/or visitors. To do so, they need to ensure they have installed the correct types of extinguishers. This has been a legal requirement since October 2006. Regardless of the size of your business… what if a fire breaks out? You will need something to extinguish the fire whether your are in a tiny office or a large one!

🧯Regulations state that a minimum of two Class A fire extinguishers on each floor of a building are needed, unless the premises are very small, in which case one may be acceptable. But they are still VERY much needed!

Remember: the number required depends on the size of the area to be protected. Whether your business is classed as high or low risk will also impact this.
