Posted By AlB Don't you just hate the time when you realise you don't know the answer to a simple, yet fundamental question! We have recently purchased 25 fire extinguishers. They have been installed on site. During my general walkabout yesterday, I noticed that the extinguishers do not have pressure gauges on them, so it's impossible to carry out regular checks as to the usefulness of them. Are these gauges mandatory on fire extinguishers? Either way, they'll be replaced, as our assessment of the risk highlights the significance of a small fire going untackled due to an empty extinguisher. But heck, I realised I don't know the answer to this question! Cheers

Posted By AlB Now that's a nice and easy answer. Thanks col. Very simple. And I've learned something new - and it's not even time for my coffee!!!! :) Thanks.
