Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Maintenance

Fire extinguishers should be inspected monthly to ensure they are in good condition and easily accessible. Additionally, a professional inspection should be conducted annually to check for any maintenance or refill needs.

Signs that a fire extinguisher needs maintenance include visible damage, low pressure gauge readings, missing or broken safety seals, or expired inspection tags. If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to have the extinguisher inspected and serviced promptly.

Proper maintenance of fire extinguishers involves monthly visual inspections, annual professional inspections, and timely refills or replacements as needed. It's also essential to ensure extinguishers are located in accessible areas and that occupants are trained in their proper use.

The right type of fire extinguisher depends on the specific fire risks present in your property. It's essential to assess potential fire hazards and select extinguishers that are suitable for combating those types of fires. Consult with a fire safety expert for guidance on selecting the appropriate extinguisher types.
