Fire Extinguisher Cabinets

As a business owner, it is important that you have effective security measures in place to help ensure the protection of life and property. Fire extinguishers play an important role in that protection. Since these devices are so vital, it is essential to have them placed in easily accessible fire extinguisher cabinets. All Iowa and Illinois businesses need to have their extinguishers placed in proper protective cabinets in order to keep them safe and effective for the moment their use is required.

Here are some of the reasons you should have these cabinets in place:

Device Accessibility

Fire extinguisher accessibility is vitally important when a fire breaks out. Often, there are only seconds to respond if the fire is to be successfully managed before serious damage occurs. The location of fire extinguisher cabinets should be easily recognizable to people within a building, and all employees should know where the nearest one is located.

Protecting Your Fire Extinguishers

A fire extinguisher cabinet also serves to keep your fire extinguishers safe from damage. In general, these extinguishers should not be touched unless they are undergoing maintenance, testing, inspection, or are being used to put out a fire. Otherwise, they should be stored safely within an enclosed cabinet.
