Fire Extinguishers

Had a client today contact us regarding some new fire extinguishers. After meeting with the client, we found that another consultant told them they needed new fire extinguishers because the ones they had were ‘too old.’ This could not be more untrue. Fire extinguishers do not ‘expire’. A typical, dry powder extinguisher needs services annually to ensure it is charged and functional, every 6 years they need inspected internally and the mechanisms and seals checked, and every 12 years they need hydrotested to ensure the shell can still withstand the required pressure. If the extinguisher passes the inspections or hydrotest, it will be marked as passed, and is good to go! Don’t let another consultant talk you into expenses you don’t need. We will always be honest with our clients, and help keep you compliant at the lowest cost to you.
