Maintain your facility’s fire safety compliance with a self-inspection checklist for fire extinguishers. According to the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office, lack of routine self-inspection is one of the top 10 life safety code violations in state buildings. With this template, you can verify that extinguishers are accessible, properly pressurized, and free from damage, preventing potential compliance issues during safety audits.

When you perform regular inspections, you ensure operational readiness in emergency situations while maintaining due diligence during safety inspections.

Frequently asked questions

How can I use this checklist to improve our facility’s fire safety compliance?

Use this checklist as part of a comprehensive fire safety program. Track patterns of issues that emerge over time, such as extinguishers frequently becoming obstructed in certain areas. Address these systemic problems through staff training or workplace reorganization. Regular documented inspections demonstrate due diligence and commitment to safety standards during regulatory audits.

What’s the difference between monthly self-inspections and professional inspections?

Monthly self-inspections focus on visual checks of accessibility, physical condition, and pressure gauge readings. Professional inspections, required annually, involve internal examination, weighing components, checking discharge mechanisms, and performing maintenance. Self-inspections help maintain compliance between professional visits but don’t replace the need for certified technician inspections.

Can I modify this fire extinguisher self-inspection checklist for my facility?

Yes, you can customize this template to include facility-specific information like extinguisher locations, ID numbers, or additional inspection points relevant to your environment. However, ensure you maintain all essential inspection elements required by your local standards. The Lumiform platform makes it easy to adapt templates while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
