FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTION | 4 Steps in Two Minutes

In this video, we go over how to conduct a fire extinguisher inspection in two minutes.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTION | 4 STEPS IN 2 MINUTES

To pass:
1. Check accessibility
Make sure the extinguisher is visible, unobstructed, and its designated location
2. Check Physical state
a. Verify the pin is intact so the extinguisher doesn’t accidentally discharge when being handled.
b. Check the plastic tamper seal if it’s got one. That’ll indicate if it’s been used and may need to be recharged.
c. Look for obvious signs of damage, corrosion, leakage, or a clogged nozzle, or a damaged hose.
3. Check the pressure Gauge
a. It should be in the green but these gauges can break so it’s a good idea to lift it and make sure you can feel the weight of the extinguishing agent inside.
b. Or, if it’s a CO2 extinguisher, there won’t be a gauge, so just lift it to make sure it’s still full.
c. Move the instructions to face outward
4. If it passed,
a. Initial and date the tag.
If it didn’t pass, take the steps you need to get it into shape.

also was advised by fire professional to turn your extinguisher upside down and give it a few love taps with a rubber mallet to keep extinguishing agent from caking. Thanks for all of the great safety videos, my OSHA refresher classes have never been better !!

I worked at a power plant where bees liked to live in extinguisher nozzles. Nobody wanted to do the inspections. Your jacket it on point!

These would be much easier to listen to without the background music. I would love to see some with just you speaking where we can clearly hear. Great information.

Not sure you have done a photo on the different fire extinguishers especially those required for liquid fuels. I see a lot of ABC in those areas but OSHA requires B

You have to know the listed weight of a CO2 extinguisher to determine whether it's full, partially discharged or empty.

Why do CO2 extinguishers not have a pressure gauge?

[naziaJabir]
