National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) regulations state that fire extinguishers must be inspected and maintained by a professionally licensed company once per year. Our annual inspections address any recharging, repairs, or testing in accordance with national, state, and city regulations. After extinguishers are deemed operational they will receive an inspection tag certifying them for one calendar year. We also recommend customers do a visual inspection of their extinguishers once per month.
Monthly inspections should determine the following:
All Extinguishers are located in their designated areas
The extinguishers labels are legible and undamaged
Tamper seals are unbroken. No leakage, corrosion, or clogging can be identified
Extinguishers are unblocked and easily accessible
A written record including the month, year, and initials of the person who inspected the extinguisher are also required. An Extinguisher can be identified as having adequate pressure by reading its pressure gauge. Monthly inspections ensure a safe environment for employees and customers. We look forward to satisfying your fire protection needs.
