• identified to be clearly visible;<br />

• well protected against physical damage (e.g. vehicle impact);<br />

• unobstructed <strong>and</strong> readily available;<br />

• not adversely affected by hazardous or climatic conditions; <strong>and</strong><br />

• regularly inspected, serviced, pressure tested <strong>and</strong> recharged as necessary (see instructions<br />

from supplier or manufacturer).<br />
