Fire equipment is an essential OH&S component of every home and business. You should know where all of your fire equipment is and how to use it. At home, you should have a fire blanket and a new wet chemical fire extinguisher in the kitchen and a smoke alarm in every room. Batteries must be changed regularly, as a dead smoke alarm can’t save your life. In your business, you should also have appropriate fire safety equipment. Small business has similar requirements to the home; while large businesses have greater requirements. Speak to your local fire brigade about wet chemical fire extinguishers and Fire Equipment Maintenance.
