Extinguishers at the ready Available to Purchase

Whilst industry is required to adhere to the letter of the law in terms of the installation of adequate fire protection equipment, it is not reasonable to expect that their own volition busy managers will often probe further into other aspects of fire safety. “But we believe that by using legislation as a foundation, the Fire Extinguishing Trades Assocation (FETA) through its Listing and Labelling Scheme, can help end users build up a secure fire protection capability by obtaining the right extinguishers for the right risks, siting them in the right place — and making sure that they are in perfect working order”. That is how FETA's Vice‐Chairman, Peter Carne, who is also Chairman of the Listing Committee, established a year ago by FETA — explains the philosophy underlying the FETA Listing and Labelling Scheme.
