EMO Fire Extinguisher Weekly Check

Description of what has to be checked

  • Fire Extinguisher Visual Inspection Checks
    A visual check on fire extinguishers takes very little time, but can save money and lives, and is part of our legal duty.
    1. Check that your fire extinguishers are on their proper fire extinguisher floor stands or wall hanging brackets, and access to them is unobstructed. Check that all fire extinguisher stands are undamaged, that all wall brackets are secure no more than 1 metre from the floor (if large). Check that signage is also unobstructed, so staff can easily see where fire extinguishers are located in an emergency. Check for any worn, peeling or damaged signage. Report any issues found.
    2. Check the pressure gauge where fitted. The gauge needle should be in the green zone. If it is in the red, Report it.
    3. Check that all seals are intact, & the safety pin is in place and secured by a tamper-evident seal, If broken report it. Ensure there are no bugs or other debris in the extinguisher's hoses or nozzles, invest in a fire extinguisher cover if the area is particularly dusty, dirty or greasy.
    4. Check the fire extinguisher cylinder for any signs of leakage, rust spots or dents. If you find any, report it. If a fire extinguisher is badly damaged, do NOT move it yourself in case the canister explodes, Report it.
    5. Check that the labelling remains clear and sharp to read. Some recommend you gently shake small powder extinguishers to prevent the contents from settling into a cake, In practice, you need to hold the unit upside down next to your ear without shaking so you can hear the loose powder gradually fall. Do not try this with large extinguishers. Your fire extinguisher should have a tag/Label to record the service inspections. Check this tag to be certain that schedule is being maintained, If not report it
    6. Finally, take a moment to look around the space to see if anything has changed that will affect either operation, provision or location of your fire extinguishers. Is a new filing cabinet obscuring a sign, or has a new machine been installed in the area requiring access to a CO2 fire extinguisher? If so Report It
