The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) regulations stipulate that all employers must provide a working means of fighting a fire at their business premises (usually in the form of a portable fire extinguisher). The BS 5306-3:2000 standard states that these extinguishers should be regularly maintained by a competent person at least once a year.
