Nasty SurprisesEverything has a life expectancy andin previous issues we have listed thelifespan of a smoke detector. Thismonth it’s the turn of fire extinguishers.

The key to pointing this out is that knowingthe life cycle will give you a chance tobudget for when you might expect toreplace equipment. This can help avoid

nasty surprise costs and, for those incharge of tight budgets, will go a longway to avoiding the questioning andawkward conversations that follow theunexpected expenditure.

Top Tips - cut out & keep guide:Life Cycles - Fire Extinguishers

Planning your budget for the next year? Find out where your extinguishers arein their life cycle and be prepared for the potential cost;

If you would like to speak to us about the potential costs for this, then let us know prior

to your next visit. We can work with you on when we would expect your costs to be, for example

if you have a new building then you should be planning for 5 years and 10 years from taking

possession. It’s worth pointing out that everyone can be caught out at some point, but planning

reduces the risk of this happening to you and having the right partners in place will help.
