Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all workplaces must have suitable firefighting equipment on-site. To fulfil this requirement, a minimum of two Class A fire extinguishers are needed. The number and range of extinguishers required increase with the workplace’s size and risk level.
Every fire extinguisher must be inspected regularly and confirmed to be in efficient working order. These inspections must be carried out by trained, competent people.
Businesses face heavy fines if inspection dates are missed or non-compliant. Poorly maintained fire extinguishers can also fail in an emergency, putting property and lives at avoidable risk.
This online fire extinguisher training course provides the necessary understanding to carry out visual inspections of fire extinguishers and confirm equipment is compliant.
Fire extinguisher inspection is a systematic assessment carried out to ensure that fire extinguishers are in efficient working order and ready for use in a fire emergency.
Fire extinguishers should be visually inspected at least once a month. More frequent inspections may be necessary if extinguishers are exposed to harsh conditions, such as high temperatures or rough handling.
Extinguishers should also undergo a full inspection annually and extended service every five to ten years.
Completing a fire extinguisher inspection course provides users with the knowledge and skills to visually inspect fire extinguishers. Having a trained inspector on staff promotes safety, supports compliance and can eliminate the cost of external inspections.
To conduct a fire extinguisher inspection, follow a fire extinguisher inspection checklist. Check for visible damage, ensure the pressure gauge is within the recommended range, confirm the safety pin is intact, and verify the inspection tag is current. Additionally, examine the nozzle and hose for obstructions. Regular inspections help ensure fire extinguishers are functional and ready for use in case of emergencies.
