What are the security features placed next to a fire extinguishera They tell you what exstingiusher color is used for this type of fire, for example electrical niether do you use water to oil fires, either. CO2 for electrical fires and oil along the powder. Hope this helps.

The security features!
Seriously, they tell you what type of fires can be addressed with the material that you would not want to put out an electrical fire with fire extinguishing water.
Arrrrggh! It also has something to do with people being thick and dense and the morons even if the company's legal idiots moron can not follow instructions like a normal person and wounds due to the existence silly approach dense moron.
Security features are a legal requirement (Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005). They tell you they type of fire extinguisher in place and type of fire they are suitable for extinction.
The reasoning behind this is to ensure that the appropriate fire extinguisher is actually in place - which has been determined by a risk of fire. Sometimes they can be moved around so you want to ensure that, for example, CO2 fire extinguisher in the office has not been accidentally replaced by water. The signs also allow the staff to know where a fire extinguisher, in case one is needed.
The signs are certainly not for "idiots." panic people in a fire situation if you want to make sure the right information is available to them to decide - in a fraction of a second - which extinguisher to use, the consequences of using it incorrectly can be fatal.
