What is fire extinguisher inspection?

An inspection of fire extinguishers is a "quick check" to give reasonable assurance that is fully charged and operable
An inspection of fire blankets is to ensure that the blanket is in good working order and correctly placed and marked
The value of an inspection lies in the frequency, regularity, and thoroughness with which it is conducted
Based on applicable Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Regulation No.PER.04/MEN/1980 inspection of fire extinguishers must be conducted every six months.
Inspection should be more frequently for medium and higher risk areas
During inspection of fire extinguishers, we ensure that:
• The fire extinguisher is in a location that makes it readily accessible
• The fire extinguisher is set up properly for easy handling, and that nothing is obstructing access to any parts of it, including the hose
• The pressure dial is checked to see if it needs to be charged. The needle should be in the green zone
• The pin and tamper seal are intact and the pull pin is properly secured within the handle and held in place by the tamper seal
• There are no dents, leaks, rust, chemical deposits or other signs of abuse or wear
• The fire extinguisher does not have any cracks, dents, or rust on its shaft which might hinder its performance
• Corrosive chemicals, oil, gunk etc. That may have deposited on the extinguisher are wiped off
• There is a visible instruction label on the fire extinguisher, and that it is legible
• No modifications were made to the fire extinguisher that might affect its performance level
• The inspection form on each fire extinguisher is completed
