Fire extinguishers servicing and maintenance
Portable fire extinguishers are an undervalued safety provision at times, however it would be the first piece of equipment you would look for in the event of a fire.
It is a legal requirement for all non-domestic/commercial properties to (where appropriate) equip the building with appropriate fire-fighting equipment (FFE). It is also part of these requirements to ensure they are maintained appropriately, ready to use in the event of a fire.
As the person or team appointed responsible for fire safety in your building (Responsible Person/Duty Holder), it is important to demonstrate you have acted with due diligence to source a quality provider for these works.
