Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspection

This template is used to conduct a fire extinguisher inspection every 30 days to determine if the equipment meets the standards and safety measures for any emergency purposes. The auditor would initially check for fire extinguisher types (ABC, BC, A, D or K), inspection tags, seals, labels and extinguisher validity. Next will be the key steps on how to accurately inspect the extinguisher to identify and annotate defects.
