Portable fire fighting equipment is a quintessential component of a safe occupancy. Safe QLD supplies, installs and services extinguishers, fire blankets, hose reels and identification signage across Brisbane and South East Queensland, with every service completed to AS 1851-2012.
A correctly selected, correctly located and correctly maintained extinguisher is often the difference between a small incident and a building fire. Safe QLD sees portable fire fighting equipment as a quintessential component of a safe occupancy, and our relationships with Australia's top manufacturers allow us to provide the most reliable equipment at affordable prices.
From a single extinguisher in a small office to group-wide equipment programs across multi-site portfolios, our QBCC licensed technicians supply, install, test and tag every unit, keep your logbooks and digital records audit-ready, and flag defects early so they never become expensive problems.
Supply, installation, six-monthly inspections, five-yearly pressure testing, recharging and replacement of all extinguisher types.
Kitchen and workshop fire blankets supplied and installed to AS 2444, inspected on the same six-monthly cycle as your extinguishers.
Six-monthly hose reel inspections to AS 1851-2012, checking accessibility, hose condition and operational readiness.
Compliant identification and location signage for every item of equipment, including child-safe height and access requirements for education sites.
Using the wrong extinguisher can make a fire worse. Under AS 2444, extinguisher selection must match the fire risks in each area of your building. Here is the quick guide our technicians work from every day.
| Extinguisher Type | Band Colour | Best For | Never Use On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water | All red, no band | Class A fires: wood, paper, textiles and other ordinary combustibles | Electrical equipment, cooking oils, flammable liquids |
| Foam | Blue band | Class A and Class B fires: flammable liquids such as petrol, paint and solvents | Energised electrical equipment |
| CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) | Black band | Class E electrical fires: switchboards, server rooms, plant and office equipment | Outdoor or windy areas where gas disperses; deep fat fryers |
| ABE Dry Chemical | White band | Class A, B and E fires: the most common general purpose unit for offices, warehouses and vehicles | Cooking oil fires, sensitive electronics where residue is a concern |
| Wet Chemical | Oatmeal band | Class F fires: cooking oils and fats in commercial kitchens | Energised electrical equipment |
In Queensland, fire safety equipment maintenance is governed by the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 and AS 1851. Extinguishers, blankets and hose reels all require six-monthly inspections, and every result is recorded so your building stays audit-ready.
Beyond the six-monthly cycle, AS 1851-2012 requires every extinguisher to be pressure tested and refilled every five years, or immediately after any use. Pressure testing verifies the integrity of the cylinder itself, so it performs safely when it matters most.
Every test, recharge and replacement is captured in your maintenance records, because failure to keep compliant records can lead to enforcement notices from QBCC or Fire Safety Officers.
