Why Arrange Annual Fire Extinguisher Servicing?
An extinguisher may look perfectly normal while still developing problems that are difficult to spot during everyday use.
Pressure can fall, components can deteriorate, corrosion may develop and extinguishers can sometimes be damaged or moved from their correct locations. Planned annual fire extinguisher servicing provides an opportunity for these issues to be identified by a competent engineer.
Fireline UK states that its North Devon servicing is arranged annually and includes reminders to help customers avoid missing important maintenance dates.
This makes annual servicing easier to build into your wider fire safety routine rather than having to remember to arrange each visit from scratch.
What Does an Annual Fire Extinguisher Service Include?
A professional service involves more than simply checking that an extinguisher is still hanging on the wall.
Fireline UK’s qualified fire extinguisher engineers can carry out visual and mechanical checks, looking for damage, corrosion, tampering and other signs that could affect the equipment.
Checks can also include moving parts, gauges, safety devices, pressure and the amount of extinguishing agent contained within the unit. Fireline UK states that its servicing is carried out in accordance with BS 5306-3, the British Standard covering commissioning and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers.
Servicing Different Types of Fire Extinguisher
Different environments can require different types of extinguisher.
Fireline UK’s portable fire extinguisher maintenance covers commonly used equipment including water, foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder and wet chemical extinguishers.
The engineer can also consider whether equipment remains appropriately positioned and suitable for the fire risks in the surrounding area.
This can be particularly useful if the way a building is used has changed since the extinguishers were originally installed.
Keeping Your Fire Safety Records Organised
Annual servicing also provides an important record of when equipment was inspected.
Fireline UK states that extinguishers are labelled following servicing with information showing the inspection date and when the next service is due. Customers can also receive service certification for their records.
For businesses managing numerous extinguishers, or organisations responsible for several locations, this structured approach can make ongoing fire protection much easier to oversee.
Working with the same experienced fire protection company year after year can also help create greater continuity when equipment is checked again.
Spotting Problems Before an Emergency
One of the main reasons for regular servicing is to identify problems before the extinguisher is actually required.
Damage to a hose, missing safety pin, pressure loss or corrosion may compromise the equipment. Fireline UK’s engineers check for these types of issues as part of their maintenance work.
If a problem is discovered, the engineer can explain what has been found and what further action may be appropriate.
This allows problems to be dealt with during planned maintenance rather than discovering that an extinguisher is unsuitable during an emergency.
