Fire Extinguisher Inspection - Safety Starts with Readiness

 Fire Extinguisher Inspection - Safety Starts with Readiness

 Regular inspection of fire extinguishers is a critical part of our workplace safety program. A fire extinguisher can only protect lives when it is properly maintained and ready for immediate use.

Key Inspection Points for DCP &  CO₂ Fire Extinguishers:

Ensure extinguisher is in the correct designated location

Check safety pin and tamper seal are intact

Inspect discharge horn and hose for damage

Verify body has no dents, rust, or leakage

Confirm inspection tag is updated

Check weight to ensure full charge

Keep label clean and clearly visible

Key Inspection Points for DCP & CO₂ Fire Extinguishers

 Fire Extinguishers 

Designated Location & Access: Confirm the extinguisher is in its correct place, mounted properly, and not blocked.

Safety Pin & Tamper Seal: Ensure the safety pin is in place and the tamper seal is unbroken to prove it hasn't been used.

Physical Inspection (Body & Hose): Inspect the cylinder for rust, dents, or damage. Check the horn (for ) or nozzle (for DCP) for cracks, blockage, or damage.

Pressure Gauge & Weight:

DCP: Confirm the needle is in the green zone.

: Since they have no gauge, weigh the extinguisher to ensure it matches the full weight listed on the label.

Inspection Tag & Label: Ensure the service tag is current (last 12 months) and the operating instructions are clean, legible, and facing outward.

DCP-Specific: Gently shake dry powder extinguishers to prevent chemical settling. 

! Remember:

A fire extinguisher that is not inspected regularly may fail when needed the most.

Through routine inspections and awareness, we continue to strengthen our commitment toward a Zero Harm Workplace.
