   How high do fire extinguishers need to be?

   • Heaver extinguishers need their handles 1m above floor level. Where wall mounting is not appropriate or possible, you can also position extinguishers on a stand or plinth that raises them to the correct level. A regular visual check each month should be made to ensure fire extinguishers have not been discharged and are in good repair.
