How is Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Carried Out?
If you own a business, it’s down to you to make sure that the staff and visitors in your business are safe. It is not as simple as just providing the correct fire protection, it also needs to be maintained at regular intervals.
A basic service of a fire extinguisher needs to be carried out with the right tools, training, and experience. The service will include a number of different elements, including changing the seal on the headcap, making sure that the headcap safety pin operation is working as it should, testing the pressure gauge, and changing of any necessary O rings. We will also give the fire extinguisher a visual check over to make sure that all is well.
Fire Extinguisher Visual Checks
It is also important to regularly visually check fire safety equipment. At least once a month you can quickly look at the pin in the headcap, the seal and the pressure gauge, to make sure they are as they should be. It’s also worth making sure that it is still fixed correctly on the wall and that the instructions are still readable.
