What fire safety equipment does my business need?

It depends on your building's size, use and fire risk. Most Dandenong workplaces need portable extinguishers, exit and emergency lighting, and fire blankets at a minimum, with hose reels, hydrants or detection systems added for larger or higher-risk sites. A site assessment confirms exactly what applies to you.

How often does fire safety equipment have to be serviced?

Under AS 1851, fire protection equipment must be inspected and tested at regular intervals – commonly every six months for items such as extinguishers, with additional annual and longer-term checks. We schedule each service so your equipment and your records stay current.

Do you both supply and install the equipment?

Yes. We supply the equipment, and our technicians install, mount and sign it correctly, then test it before handover so it is ready to use from day one.

Can you train our staff to use the equipment?

Yes. We provide fire safety training covering extinguisher use, warden duties and the safe handling of equipment, so your team knows what to do before an emergency happens.

The Fire Safety Equipment We Supply and Service

A compliant building rarely relies on a single product. We stock and fit a full range of fire protection equipment, and we match each item to the risks on your site rather than selling a one-size-fits-all package.

Fire Extinguishers

Portable extinguishers are rated for different fire types – wet chemical for kitchens, CO₂ around electrical switchboards, dry powder for mixed-risk areas. We supply the correct class for each location, then mount and sign them so they can be reached in seconds.

Fire Hose Reels and Hydrants

Hose reels and hydrants give a building a sustained water supply for larger fires. We install and pressure-test both so they deliver the flow a fire crew or a trained staff member needs.

Emergency and Exit Lighting

Emergency and exit lighting keeps escape routes visible when mains power fails. We supply and maintain these fittings to AS 2293, the standard that governs emergency escape lighting in Australian buildings.

Fire Blankets and Signage

Fire blankets, fire action notices and directional signage are the low-cost items most often overlooked. We make sure they are present, current and positioned where staff will actually find them.

Detection and Suppression Systems

For higher-risk sites we supply detection and suppression equipment that identifies and controls a fire before it spreads. We size these to the building and integrate them with your existing fire systems.

Matching the Right Equipment to Your Dandenong Site

Dandenong runs on industry – manufacturing plants, logistics warehouses, retail centres and offices all sit within a few kilometres of each other, and each carries a different fire risk. A powder-coating workshop needs different protection from a childcare centre or a row of shopfronts. We start with a walk-through of your premises, identify the hazards and the compliance obligations that apply, then recommend equipment that suits how your site is actually used. That way you are not paying for hardware you don't need, and you are not left exposed where it matters.

Keeping Your Fire Safety Equipment Compliant

Buying the equipment is the start; keeping it compliant is the ongoing job. In Victoria, fire protection equipment must be inspected and tested at set intervals under AS 1851, and every service has to be recorded. Our fully licensed, VBA-accredited technicians test, tag and service your extinguishers, hose reels, lighting and systems on schedule, log the results and issue the certification you need for insurers and building audits. We keep digital records of every item and send reminders before each service falls due, so nothing lapses. If you want to compare your current arrangement, our AS 1851 and AS 2293 maintenance quotes are free.
