Assessment of Adequacy of Fire Extinguishers as per IS 2190
Fire extinguishers provide a first-aid response and help to prevent devastating damage to property and even loss of life. However, this isn’t simply a one-size-fits-all approach. A fire can start in various scenarios and ignite from several sources, necessitating unique extinguishers to tackle each type of fire.
Easily identifiable fire extinguishers are a vital component of any workplace and are required to be legally compliant. When it comes to fire safety, overlooking them is a huge risk that no business should take.
The required number & size of fire extinguishers required for each occupancy is determined from IS 2190: 2010 Selection, Installation & Maintenance of First-Aid Fire Extinguishers — Code Of Practice
