| Equipment | Interval | Maintained by | Last inspected | Next due | Status |
|---|
This register records the emergency equipment held by A M Water Services Limited, where it is located, who maintains it, and the interval at which it is inspected, so that the equipment relied on in an emergency is known to be present and serviceable.
Fire-fighting equipment, first aid provision, spill response and the emergency equipment carried on vehicles and held at the premises and welfare units. Calibrated monitoring and measuring equipment is held in APP_14 and is not repeated here.
Status is derived at build time from the next-due date against the date this register was generated. It is not typed in and cannot be asserted.
| Status | What it means | How it is decided |
|---|---|---|
| In date | The next inspection or service is not yet due. | Next-due date is on or after the generation date shown in the control band. |
| Overdue | The inspection or service is past its due date. | Next-due date is before the generation date. The number of days past due is shown against it. |
| No date held | No next-due date is recorded. | Treated as a gap in the register, not as compliance. |
| Equipment type | Frequency | Inspector | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| First aid kits | Quarterly | Supervisor / Finance & Compliance Assistant | No frequency set in law — see note below |
| Spill kits | Weekly | Site teams | Environmental policy |
| Fire extinguishers | Annual | External contractor | BS 5306 |
| Gas monitors | Pre-use, plus 6-monthly calibration | User / external | Manufacturer's specification |
| Fire alarm — user test | Weekly, one call point, rotating | Office | BS 5839-1 |
| Emergency lighting | Monthly test, annual service | Supervisor / contractor | BS 5266 |

The weekly fire alarm user test and the monthly emergency lighting test are recorded on FORM_FIRE_LOG_01 Fire Safety Logbook, kept at the panel. Spill kits, gas monitors, emergency lighting and the defibrillator are inspected on the frequencies above and are maintained under the premises and fleet arrangements rather than itemised as individual assets.
