Q: Can you please advise me whether it is a requirement to provide all company vehicles with a fire extinguisher?

A: If the vehicle is carrying dangerous or hazardous goods, then yes. If not, there is only a requirement if:

• you assess that the fire risk requires an extinguisher be included in the vehicle; and
• it would be reasonably practicable to do so.
