Fire Extinguisher checks don’t just need to be carried out by the professional!

Imagine worst case scenario, and a fire breaks out in your office. The extinguisher you go to use is out-of-date or damaged so does not work. It doesn’t bare thinking about…

So what can we do to avoid this?

Fire extinguisher maintenance should be carried out annually by a professional to ensure they are in date and good working order. But here are a few Fire Extinguisher checks that you can continually do yourself in between visits from the professionals:

🧯Check the extinguisher is in date
🧯Ensure it is still holding its charge
🧯Make sure the seal on the extinguisher has not been broken
🧯Is the hose clear and free of any damage?
🧯Are there any visible signs of damage?
