How to check a fire extinguisher technician is BAFE Registered

It is important for you as the appointed person responsible for fire safety within your building is confident that the providers you use are competent. After specifying a BAFE SP101 organisation to provide your fire extinguisher services, it is also important to check the fire extinguisher technicians are BAFE registered. To do this you can demand to see their BAFE ID card:

This card will feature their name, company and ID card number, you can contact the BAFE Office on 0844 335 0897 or email info@bafe.org.uk quoting these details to ensure their registration is valid.

A valid BAFE registration for fire extinguisher technicians ensures they continue to follow best practice and have regular refresher training and on site assessments by BAFE assessors to demonstrate ongoing competence.
