Our step-by-step process carefully checks all parts and aspects of your fire extinguishers to ensure that they conform to all safety and legal requirements. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our fire extinguisher inspection service process:
First, to properly locate the fire extinguisher, it is necessary to make it easily visible and within a simple reach. It should be in an area that is clearly defined and free from any physical barrier, which could ensure that you can quickly get at the extinguisher whenever there is a need.
Our team also confirms to the clients whether the extinguisher is mounted correctly with the right bracket or holder. This includes confirming that it is firmly bolted at the same height as specified by the manufacturer's instructions and ordinance.
We look at the pressure gauge to ensure that the needle reads a charge somewhere within the green zone. This is important as it will assist in making some provisions, but it needs to be pressurized enough before it can be deemed ready for use.
The valve and shell are first checked for signs of damage corrosion, and finally, the condition of wear is ascertained. Problems with any of these could hamper the extinguisher and its efficiency; therefore, these parts are checked for their functionality.
An examination is also made of the handle and the safety pin in order to determine whether the former is dented in some way or has been rendered permanently set in the shaved position by the latter. The pin should be correctly fitted into the handle, and the handle should not have any cracks or any defect that will hinder its functioning.
The hose is checked for pores or splits and blocks, and the discharge horn is also checked for its condition. These components should be operational to allow easy release of the extinguishing agent.
We are able to provide reports for clients set up on one of our reporting systems (Building Reports or ATG). For other clients, findings are shared verbally along with a physical receipt outlining services rendered or a game plan to help keep you compliant.
Routine maintenance helps to guarantee that the fire extinguisher you have is always ready for use at any given time you may require it.
1 Year
Annual maintenance refers to a simple visual check of portable fire extinguishers physically and a simple servicing. This involves checking the pressure gauge on the extinguisher, making sure any way does not cover the extinguisher. It is easily visible, and checking the label and directions on the extinguisher. The annual inspection is usually done with the aim of checking on areas that may lead to main breakdowns in the future.
5 Years
For the CO2 and Water-based extinguishers, we do a hydrostatic test after five years. This test checks the soundness of the cylinder of the extinguisher under this pressure to confirm that it is improved to contain and discharge the agent safely. This critical procedure aims to avoid a chance of equipment failure and ensure compliance with the recommended safety measures.
6 Years
Stored pressure fire extinguishers need very complex maintenance that should be conducted every six years. This involves taking apart the extinguisher to inspect the major parts and recharging to keep it pressurized and operational.
12 Years
After twelve years of use and storage, hydrostatic testing is done on stored pressure and cartridge-operated extinguishers. This exhaustive test guarantees that the cylinder will be able to bear the pressure it will endure during its working conditions. After this test, repairs and recharging activities are conducted on the extinguisher to ensure it is reliable in case of emergencies.
