Posted By Peter Harvey OK, this might save a fortune, but as a general idea I think it is more of a risk than a benefit. Fire extinguishers should normally be situated on protected fire routes, which in turn have fire doors, which can now be easily wedged open using a fire appliance! Remember that HSE guidance on the positioning of fire extinguishers states, that were ever practical they should be located in a clearly visible location, which is clearly indicated, and were ever possible grouped to form fire points. This can not be achieved if you are allowing employees to move them around all the time, they might not be were they are needed when required. We now use a safety cord system, which attaches the extinguisher to the wall bracket it is mounted on and will easily snap when pulled, if the extinguisher was required for use. A deterrent, which has had almost a 100% success.
