High-Performance Protection for Mining and Heavy Industry
On a mine site, fire risks are bigger and conditions are tougher. Diesel-powered haul trucks, light vehicles, generators, fuel bays and hydraulic machinery all carry serious flammable liquid hazards, often a long way from emergency help. A standard workplace extinguisher may not have the firepower these risks demand.
The mines rated fire extinguisher Perth extinguisher uses a high-performance powder blend to achieve a higher Class B rating than a regular 4.5kg unit, without moving up to a heavier 9kg cylinder. That means more fire-stopping capacity on fuel and oil fires, in a size that still mounts in vehicles and can be carried quickly to the fire.
Fire Classes Covered
- Class A – timber, paper, rubber, plastics and packaging
- Class B – flammable liquids such as diesel, petrol, hydraulic oil, lubricants and solvents
- Class E – energised electrical equipment, including switchboards, motors, generators and vehicle electrics
Not suitable for: Class F cooking oil and fat fires. For site kitchens and camp messes, use a wet chemical extinguisher.

- Fuel bays, refuelling stations and oil storage areas
- Workshops, maintenance bays and wash-down areas

Servicing and Compliance for WA Sites
Dust, vibration, heat and constant movement on mine sites can damage extinguishers, gauges and hoses faster than in a normal workplace. Under AS 1851, portable extinguishers should be inspected every six months, with a pressure test and refill every five years. Many sites also run their own inspection schedules. NeonSafety provides fire equipment supply, inspections, servicing and test & tag for Perth-based businesses, contractors and fleets heading to site.
