dade · 2008-12-11 14:44:39

anyone any idea what if any legislation exists in relation to these? where i live the internal common areas have fire extinguishers on every floor but they haven't been checked in about 2 years. is there any legislation or what not in place to say how often these need to be checked?

It's probably an insurance requirement rather than a legal thing, check with someone on the Management Company board, or with the management agency, whomever organised the insurance

Are the dials in the red or green? Tap the dial a little and see. If in the red, let the management know, and ask when the last time the local fire service did a check? (read: check or get fined management biotch:P)

A fire extinguisher should be checked annually. That's standard.
