Guidelines for Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspection January, 2002 Michelle Humphries, Fire Safety Coordinator Department of Environmental Health and Safety

Fire Extinguisher Monthly Inspection  The following slides will show you how to do a routine spot check on your area fire extinguishers. Please hit the key on your keyboard to advance the slides at your own pace after the arrow appears below.

About Monthly Checks  A “Quick Check” is intended to give reasonable assurance that the fire extinguisher is fully charged and operable by inspecting a few key elements.  Monthly spot checks do not require any special licensing and can be done by anyone with these instructions.  Monthly Checks are required by the State Fire Marshal.

Extinguisher Locations  First you must know the locations of the units. A building floor plan showing the fire extinguisher locations is available from the Environmental Health and Safety Office.

Location and Access  Verify that the units are all in their intended location and are not blocked. There can be no obstructions to access or visibility. If small items can be relocated easily please do so. Otherwise contact the building manager or fire safety coordinator for assistance.

Mounting and Instructions  The unit should be mounted on a wall or set in a cabinet with the instructions facing outward. The cabinet door should operate easily. Instructions

Closer Inspection  The plastic seal is to be snug holding the pin place.  The gauge needle needs to show the indicator in the green.

Overall Condition  The nozzle should be clear of blockages. Signs of yellow powder could also indicate a leak or tampering and should be reported.  Unit appears to feel full when “hefted”.  No obvious physical damage or wear is noticeable.

Initialing the Tag  Initial the tag on the unit when you are finished. Report any problems or concerns to the fire safety coordinator.

Contact Information The Fire Safety Coordinator can be Fax: Physical Plant Building 16 Room 111 Please feel free to call with any comments, questions, or concerns.
