Fire Extinguisher Check-Up: Every Month

First of all, you should make an inventory of all of your fire extinguishers and where they are located throughout your facility. Then every month, walk around to all of the fire extinguishers in your building and check that the needle on the pressure gauge is in the green area.

This can be done on your own without the help of a fire protection services company. If you see a fire extinguisher with a low-pressure gauge, make sure you call a fire protection services company right away to fix the problem and get your fire extinguisher back up to snuff.

Fire Extinguisher Inspection: Annually or Immediately After Use

Fire extinguishers need professional inspection and general service at least once a year. In addition, if you notice that your fire extinguisher has lost pressure (if the needle on the pressure gauge is no longer in the green) or if you have used your fire extinguisher to put out a fire, schedule a fire extinguisher inspection as soon as possible.

During a fire extinguisher inspection, your fire extinguisher will be checked for damages and refilled (if necessary), so that your fire extinguisher will be ready to protect you the next time you need it.

Fire Extinguisher Hydro-Testing: Every 12 Years

Have your fire extinguisher hydro-tested every 12 years to make sure that the extinguisher holds enough pressure and can still be used. If it does not at the time of hydro-testing, it may be time to buy a new fire extinguisher.

At Kauffman Co., we can sell and install fire extinguishers of all types. We even sell fire extinguishers in bulk, so no matter how big your facility is, you can sure it is up to code and that your employees or customers are protected.
