Frequently asked questions

Who should perform the annual fire extinguisher inspection?

Annual fire extinguisher inspections must be conducted by certified fire extinguisher technicians or approved servicing companies, not facility staff. These professionals have the training to properly examine internal components, test pressure levels, and perform necessary maintenance. OSHA and NFPA 10 standards specify that annual maintenance requires specialized knowledge and equipment that only certified technicians possess.

What’s the difference between inspecting different types of fire extinguishers?

Different extinguisher types have specific inspection requirements. For example, water and foam extinguishers need checks for corrosion and leakage. Dry powder extinguishers require verification that powder moves freely without caking. On the other hand, wet chemical extinguishers used for kitchen fires need special attention to nozzle condition and pressure indicator accuracy.

What if I find an extinguisher that fails inspection?

If an extinguisher fails inspection, immediately tag it as defective and remove it from service. Use the template’s action feature to document the specific issue, assign responsibility for replacement or repair, and set a deadline. Ensure a suitable replacement extinguisher is installed in its place while repairs are made. Never leave an area without proper fire protection coverage.
