What We Do In An Inspection

We Check The placement Of The Fire Extinguisher –Where the fire extinguisher is important for easy access. During fire breakout, between the chaos it should be easy for anyone to locate the fire extinguisher and operate it. We will see if the fire extinguisher is placed on every floor of the building and within 15 metres of radius. There should be emergency lights that glow up to show the way in smoke and power outage.

The Fire Extinguisher Should Be In A Operable Condition – Our inspectors will check if the fire extinguisher is in the right condition. Any bumps, or cracks on the surface indicate that the fire extinguisher has been compromised. We have the tools and the knowledge to check the seal, the pin and pressure gauge. We will know if the fire extinguisher will work when it is needed by external examination. If we notice physical damage to the fire extinguisher we will replace it with a new fire extinguisher.

The Writing On The Cylinder Should Be Legible – The date of the ;ast inspection, the inspection of how to operate the extinguisher and the type of extinguisher should be clearly written and readable.
