Fire Extinguisher Service Checklist: Ensure Your Safety with AITO
When it comes to fire safety, regular maintenance and inspection of fire extinguishers are essential for ensuring optimal performance during emergencies. At AITO, our expert service team provides a comprehensive fire extinguisher service that follows a detailed checklist to guarantee your extinguishers are in top condition. Here, we’ll walk you through the key inspection points covered during our service to keep your equipment ready when it matters most.
1. Ring Pin Cord in Place
The first step in our inspection process is to verify that the ring pin cord is correctly positioned and secured.
The ring pin prevents accidental discharge, and its cord ensures it stays in place, which is crucial for safety. If the cord is missing or damaged, it could affect the extinguisher’s reliability, making replacement necessary.
2. Ring Pin in Place
Our expert technicians ensure that the ring pin itself is intact and properly positioned.
The pin serves as a safeguard, preventing unintended activation. We check for any signs of tampering or wear, which could compromise the extinguisher’s function during an emergency.
3. Inspection Tag in Place and Updated
We make sure the inspection tag is present, clean, and up-to-date.
The extinguisher’s service history is recorded in this tag, confirming that regular maintenance checks have been carried out in accordance with fire safety regulations. It’s not just about compliance—it’s about peace of mind knowing your fire safety equipment is reliable.
4. Label Clean and Readable
Our service includes checking that the label on the fire extinguisher is clean, clear, and easy to read.
This label provides important information, such as the extinguisher type and operating instructions, which are vital during an emergency. A worn-out or illegible label could cause delays when quick action is required.
5. Hose and Nozzle Not Damaged
The hose and nozzle are critical components of the fire extinguisher.
We inspect them thoroughly to ensure there are no cracks, blockages, or other forms of damage. Our technicians, therefore, make certain that the hose is flexible and, additionally, that the nozzle is clear, so that the extinguisher can deliver its contents effectively.
6. Gauge in Place and Fully Charged
We always check the pressure gauge to ensure that the extinguisher is fully charged and ready for use.
The gauge indicator should be in the green zone, which shows that the pressure is adequate for the extinguisher to function properly. Hence, if the gauge indicates low pressure or is damaged, we will recommend recharging or replacement.
7. Hose Holder in Place
The hose holder plays an important role in keeping the hose secure and preventing unnecessary wear.
During inspection, we will first attach and then check that the holder is correctly connected and, furthermore, in good condition. A misplaced or broken holder could lead to premature hose wear or even render the extinguisher unusable.
8 Hose Band Attached and Secure
We make certain that the hose band is firmly attached and holds the hose in place.
This prevents the hose from dangling or becoming damaged over time. Our expert technicians inspect and maintain all components to meet the highest safety standards.
