Chek If Fire Extinguisher Is Working

A portable fire extinguisher can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or containing it until the fire department arrives, but portable extinguishers have limitations.

• Make sure if the fire extinguisher is in operating condition.
• You do need to inspect it with a few things in mind.
• The fire extinguisher is accessible.
• The safety seals are intact.
• The pressure gauge is within normal parameters.
• There’s no damage to the extinguisher (e.g. corrosion, dents, leakage).
• You’re documenting your inspections.
