How Velocity Safety Delivered Emergency Fire Extinguisher Commissioning in Under 18 Hours

Late Friday afternoon, a client contacted us needing urgent commissioning of new fire extinguishers for a site they were working on.

They hadn’t realised that newly purchased extinguishers must be commissioned before use – a point that had been flagged in an audit requiring immediate resolution.

What We Found On Site

Upon arrival, our team discovered defects in the extinguishers purchased within the last six months. The units had been improperly sited and had started corroding due to site damage. Given that these extinguishers are pressurised, this posed a significant safety hazard.

Our Response

We conducted a quick survey, collected replacement extinguishers and trolleys from our stock, and returned promptly to commission and correctly site the equipment. By 12:30pm the next day – within 18 hours of the initial request – the job was complete.

We also managed to reuse several rotary bells already on site, saving the client money and reducing waste.

We provide full fire extinguisher servicing and commissioning to ensure your equipment is correctly installed, compliant, and safe – including thorough site surveys and defect rectification.
