Portable fire extinguishers are considered to be a first line of defense against fighting and controlling fires that are small in nature. Two key factors to their success are: (1) having properly maintained extinguishers and (2) strategic placement of extinguishers throughout the workplace.
Maintaining extinguishers with monthly and annual inspections are essential to ensuring that your extinguishers are in working condition and ready to perform when and if needed. Our state licensed technician can provide monthly and annual inspections to certify their readiness. All extinguishers passing inspections will receive a certification tag that is good for one year.
Extinguishers not passing inspection due to deficiencies such as: Needing to be recharged, 6 year maintenance, Hydrostatic testing will be noted and recommendations given for corrective action.
Types of extinguishers and placement of extinguishers are determined by many factors such as size of the building and the type of work being conducted in the building. We will assess our customers’ needs in accordance with NFPA Codes to determine the type and placement of extinguishers.
