EAC Fire and Security recently supplied mobile fire extinguisher units for a local development company to support fire safety on their new construction site.
Mobile Fire Extinguisher Trolleys Supplied
For this project, we supplied two pairs of fire extinguisher trolleys, each fully equipped with the appropriate extinguishers for common construction site fire risks.
Each trolley was loaded with:
- 6L Fluorine-Free Foam Fire Extinguisher
- 2kg CO₂ Fire Extinguisher
These units provide effective coverage for a range of potential fire hazards typically found on building sites.
Suitable for Multiple Fire Risks on Site
The combination of foam and CO₂ extinguishers ensures protection against several classes of fire.
Foam extinguishers are designed to tackle Class A fires involving solid materials such as wood, paper, and textiles, as well as Class B fires involving flammable liquids, which are common risks on construction projects.
CO₂ extinguishers are particularly effective for electrical fires, making them ideal for areas where temporary power supplies, tools, and electrical equipment are being used.
By providing both extinguisher types together, the trolleys offer a versatile fire safety solution for active construction environments.
Fire Safety Equipment for Construction Sites
Portable fire extinguishers must be selected and positioned according to recognised UK fire safety guidance such as BS 5306, which covers the selection, installation, and maintenance of fire extinguishers in buildings and workplaces.
Mobile extinguisher trolleys are often used on construction sites where wall-mounted extinguishers may not be practical and where equipment needs to be easily moved to different work areas.
Supporting Safe Development Projects
By supplying these extinguisher trolley units, the development site now has:
- Easily accessible fire extinguishers on site
- Equipment suitable for multiple fire risks
- Mobile units that can be relocated as work progresses
- Fire safety equipment aligned with UK standards
EAC Fire and Security regularly supplies and installs fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and fire safety equipment for construction projects, commercial premises, and residential developments across Dorset and the surrounding areas.
