It looks great but could it actually be considered a risk as you are not making it stand out?

If extinguishers are there for staff use only and if staff are advised as to its unique location is there an issue really? Had to look again though at what first looked like a painted call point just below the right flipper.

I know what you're saying NT, but the requirement to be clearly visible or signed is there for a reason.  My view on it is that in a panicked state looking for an extinguisher you may forget about your training as to where this specific extinguisher is and just not see it.  There's a lot of depends isn't there?  Level of training, size of building, number of staff, frequency of staffing changes, temporary staff etc.  Plus, I can sell them a big sign! Let alone the fact that it's a powder extinguisher indoors - much better to make it more obvious by changing for a water spray and a CO2 (and mounting them lower). :D
