Posted By Craig Chapman Just a quick question. Currently we are using haulage containers to store surplus office equipment, we rent these off a local company and I would just like to know who does the responsibilty fall with when it comes to providing any necessary H & S equipment eg fire extinguishers etc. I would say that its up to us but I would just like to make sure

Posted By Paul Oliver Hi Craig, if the containers are stored on your premises then you will have to carry out an assessments of the hazards associated, predominantly a fire risk assessment to determine what hazards the storage containers create. if the storage company locates them at another location i would provide them will infomration relating to contents of the containers eg, flammability, hazardous substances etc. cheers Paul
