What Is Fire Extinguisher Maintenance?
Having a fire extinguisher is a great first step to protect your business and meet code compliance standards. However, you need to maintain your fire extinguisher in tip-top condition over its lifespan to avoid a malfunction during an emergency. This preventive maintenance is also a must for maintaining code compliance. Most businesses need an annual maintenance service for their fire extinguishers.
A fire extinguisher tune-up entails these steps:
- Checking gauges and pressure
- Inspecting the hose, nozzle, handle, and lever
- Recharging/refilling
- Replacing pins/labels
- Hydrostatic testing
- Verifying appropriate weight
- Documenting results
Apart from this annual maintenance service, it’s best to designate an employee to do a monthly visual inspection of each fire extinguisher. Have them start by ensuring that each extinguisher is in its appropriate location with no obstructions to block access.
The pressure gauge should read in the green zone, and both the safety pin and tamper seal should be intact. The tag and operating instructions should be clearly visible. The designated employee also needs to look for signs of damage, like corrosion, dents, or leaks. If anything looks out of place, ask one of our fire protection experts to examine your fire extinguisher further.
