Post The When and Where of Fire Extinguishers

An annual inspection would need to be more thorough than a visual monthly check. These should be done by a professional who can certify their inspection. The annual inspection would include an examination of mechanical parts, the fire suppression agent and the delivery system. These checks should be recorded on the hang tag along with the date and inspector's initials.

A six-year inspection is similar to an annual inspection; however the contents of the fire extinguishers are emptied, refilled, re-pressurized and re-sealed. A licensed inspector will examine the mechanics, hose and delivery system.

Fire extinguisher app mantenimiento industrial inspections also check things other than the functionality of the extinguisher. These things include that the extinguishers are in their assigned location, the extinguishers are not blocked or hidden, that the extinguishers are correctly mounted, that pressure gauges indicate adequate pressure is still available and that there are not visual signs of damage or abuse.

Different types of extinguishers have different types of maintenance requirements. There are stored pressure, or dry chemical, water or steam; disposable dry; and hydro-static.

Keeping your fire extinguishers inspected and fully functioning is not only the law, it could also be crucial should an emergency ever occur in your home or your business?
