Fire Extinguisher Inspections

Fire Extinguisher Inspections

Fire extinguisher inspections ensure your fire extinguishers are charged and properly maintained and can help minimize damage to your business and injuries to your employees and customers. I will come to your location and provide an annual/monthly inspection according to the State Fire Marshal and NFPA 10 Codes and regulations. All fire extinguisher inspections include but are not limited to:

• Check that the extinguisher is visible, unobstructed and has proper signage.
• Check that the extinguisher is at the proper mounting height.
• Remove the extinguisher from the hanger, bracket and or cabinet.
• Ensure that the mounting bracket and or cabinet is secure and properly mounted.
• Check the gauge for proper pressure, condition and compatibility with extinguisher.
• Examine the cylinder for dents, broken handles, levers and corrosion.
• Ensure the operating instructions are legible and facing forward.
• Check the last internal examination and hydrostatic test dates.
• Check condition of discharge horn and check for blockage. (creepy crawly nests)
• Examine valve opening for any sign of leakage, powder or foreign material.
• Break the tamper seal and remove the pull pin to ensure that it functions properly.
• Re-install the pull pin and replace with proper color coded tamper seal.
• Clean all exposed surfaces of the extinguisher and re-install unit in its proper place

Once the inspection is completed, extinguishers passing inspection will then be certified and a State of California certification tag will be attached which is good for 1 Year. Extinguishers not passing inspection because of deficiencies will be noted and recommendations for corrective action will be assessed. This may include recharging, 6 year maintenance, hydrostatic testing or replacement of the extinguisher.
