We understand that change is not always welcome and that advancements in technology can make people wary.
So here at Vraxis we wanted to be open and honest about the pro's and con's of the P50 Fire Extinguisher and conventional fire extinguishers.
The choice is yours!
Yes the P50 Fire Extinguisher fulfils all legal and certification requirements and meet all the British Standards recommendations.
Regardless of the type of extinguisher you choose to install in your premises, all businesses and organisation's have a legal duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005 to ensure that their fire extinguishers are in the correct position and in good working order. BS 5306-3 also recommends that extinguishers are annually maintained.
Due to the unique construction and robust nature of the P50 Service-Free Extinguishers, a service by an external trained technician is not required to maintain the extinguisher. A responsible member of your staffing team should conduct a simple inspection each year and the results added to the free P50 Fire Extinguisher app. This is all that is required to ensure that the 10 year warranty is maintained and that the P50 is in good working order. Free training will be provided for this inspection or if Vraxis Safety Solutions conduct your Fire Risk Assessment, then this service will be maintained by us on your behalf.
If any faults are found during the visual inspection, all Vraxis Safety Solutions P50 Service-Free Extinguishers are covered by a 10-year warranty and the unit will be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.
Whether your premises has traditional steel extinguishers or P50 Service-Free Extinguishers, a regular 'walk-by' inspection is required to note any obvious issues with fire safety equipment.
When switching to P50 Service-Free Fire Extinguishers, we would highly recommend that you tell your insurance company as some providers require notification of any changes to your extinguisher provision.
